Just ordered the Brusso hinges. 4 for $40 plus the Woodtalk code gave me another 10%off!!!!! Now to build something “hinge worthy”.
Saving money makes a lot of projects hinge worthy lol!
Shannon,
About 4 years ago, I mad these cabinets for the shop computers at work: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/54013 They could have used thicker gasket at the front, but worked out pretty well. May be a little overkill for home, though.
Keep up the good work, guys! Oh, and congrats, Marc! Good luck on the new job, Matt!
Java Jake
Thanks!!!

To answer your question on putting a computer out in the shop, why not get a computer designed for an industrial environment like this

or
If you are dedicated to OSX (eww) then another option would be to get a MacMini and monitor and mount them in a Plexiglas box with a metal (preferably copper) back and add some form of active cooling like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103195
