Bozak C-305 M Moorish style equipment cabinet. I have not seen another like it. Maybe one day it'll have a set of Moorish Concert Grands to set beside it.
It's a tank!

Is the OP inspired yet? It's only been three years now this thread's been rolling. <G>
Here's my main audio system ...
The monster QRX-9001 receiver was the main reason to go with a custom heavy duty cabinet - that and another 600 pounds worth of stuff. The receiver is over 25" wide. On the bright side, that gave me plenty of room for a larger monitor for the HTPC.
Video system is mostly because I can't abide a TV you can't pile stuff on top of - that and I didn't really have the right wall space in my old style cape cod cottage.
The cabinet is actually two O'Sullivan racks spliced together with a standard flat screen wall mount installed internally. The screen is face mounted to that. Actually the second set I've done that with - all that was needed was to replace the face frame on the cabinet to fit the new screen for a good light seal and custom look.
The Dobson is considered the Volkswagen of telescopes, and I just happened to have some old emblems laying about, and it was a slow day, eh. <G>
Nice little unit though. I added a Telrad sight and digital inclination gauge to the tube and a setting circle and adjustable legs on the base, as well as flocked and insulated the tube - it already had heaters, so I'm good to go with winter observations here in the Great White.
Eight inch mirror does an admirable job of pulling the universe just a bit closer ...
Hey, ET, I'm hoOOooommeeee ... say hi to mom for me!!
Here's a nice touch ... I also added handles for transport and setup, but the golf cart is the sh!t for hauling it around the fields ... I've since modified that so I can clip the base on under the tube ... works nice!
I assembled a DIY Flexy rack over the weekend. It's rather absurdly overbuilt, but I like it that way. After putting it together, it looks a little sparse, so I may add a couple more shelves in the future.
