My Long Overdue Display Cabinet (1 Viewer)

[LeLe]

After having been inspired by PCFers with their fantastic Display Cabinet porn.

I knew that I also need my own Cabinet too, after some nitpicking and scouting for cabinet according to my ideal storage preferences, my long overdue Display Cabinet is finally up and running.

I might look into setting up some lighting in the future as well, it still felt a little dark despite choosing a non-black Cabinet.

Congrats! Looks great. I think lighting would be terrific too.

Those Cic's deserve a place, higher up

The main reason they are placed at the bottom is because they are heavy-weight chips.

Minimizing the stress on the loading bearing is one of my considerations when planning the display layout.

I loved all my sets equally

can't say I love my sets equally, but I've never sold any, so they are all kind of special

Just the fact you never sold any is already kind of special baller

I figured u will need at least 20 Cabinets & a house to hold the Cabinets as well if you want to display all your collections

Looks great. The light color of the wood, helps the chips stand out.

Thanks, I picked the light colour because a Dark / Black colour cabinet will make the whole display setup much darker and in need of more light.

In a sense, it helped to "brighten" up the display

Mission accomplished. The brighter color chips definitely catch your eye.

Wow, that's awesome! How long have you been collecting these pieces of art?

I like the natural wood color - I think it makes your chips pop even more! Nice addition

That is some stash. You must have the insurance company sweating it. I love the barrister doors on the shelf.

Looks amazing. Did you do any lighting?

 

[Papa_T]

This is amazing! Great work

Thanks.

Not yet, the barrister doors are kind of in the way of adding the lighting from the top.

I might try LED strip in the future.

This is amazing! Great work

Thanks =)

Nice display for nice chip sets!
900 seems to be the set size of your choice.
It's great. A LED strip hidden by a small wooden frame would be great also.

Thanks, the LED strip is a suggestion from my friend. All Credit goes to him.

The truth is a lot of my chipset's breakdown is either 800 or 1000, but the chipset looks much nicer when I display them in 900.

Plus I also want to keep each row of cabinet load bearing under 20kg.

I also have about 4,000 additional chips (extra/spares, sample or potential project in process) that is kept in my drawer too.

I need a change of pants. Thanks for sharing!

Ran out of cabinet space, I decided to also make good use of the area at the top of the cabinet.

That should free up some extra space for 2 more sets, before I have to get another matching cabinet.

I felt i am going to end up with 4 cabinets like @BearMetal before I retired.

The top shelf might have grown a little and ran out of space after yesterday mail day.

A Happy problem to have.
