[QUOTE="AcadDude, post: 280987, member: 7404"] I removed the door for the back off of the old pinball cabinet and it fit the new cabinet. What are the odds? No trimming needed just had to fit it up in the 2x2 frame. The door has a 200mm fan to pull air out of the cabinet. I use two 120mm case fans in the front. They are next on the list for the cabinet build. I have a 500 watt PC power supply that powers the lights and these fans. It is way overkill in wattage but it was laying around so why not use it.

Make the back door big. Some day you may need to reach in the cabinet and these two openings are big enough to maybe do repairs or maintenance. I used a "piano" style hinge, they are easy to line up. I am sure two or three individual hinges would work just as good. The lock on the back door is not too tight (tight jambs the lock) and not too loose to rattle when pushing a subwoofer or lightly bumping the cabinet. Once I got the door where I wanted it I screwed on a couple wood scraps to be a stop for the door. Pressing these in or out makes the door snug or loose. To make the door originally I cut a 7 1/2" diameter hole in the door kinda near the top. I then drilled 4 holes and countersunk the screws. I then used expansion type nuts to fasten the fan. I had a bunch of them and no washers that worked in the shop. I cut some expanded metal grating to cover the hole and put it between the fan and plywood door.
