Medicine Cabinet For Magic Mirror Frame

@bminer1 I completely get your point. It’s much easier to build around what you want than to build around the predefined size of the cabinet.
@yawns , these are all great points. I I definitely want a slim case, I didn’t think about all that. As far as using the cabinet, I already have one, I’m just going to replace my other mirror with the cabinet, but now I’m having second thoughts. You just invoked some serious thinking and evaluating to get the right one.

I’m sorry, I did not want to spoil your cabinet approach.
Go for what makes you happy and what is possible for you :-) -
@yawns you didn’t spoil it, you just made me think a little more and see things from a different light. I appreciate that. We are all here for stuff like that… Thanks!!!

i think it can be a good idea, because iif you build the back slim and have a kind of cage/case around the back, it should be possible to still use the cabinet as a cabinet. would be very practical in smaller bathrooms.

@B4rth I’m going to look at the cabinets today to see if I can make a slim version or how the depth of them are in relation to what I’m trying to do.

Unless they just like being Bob The Builders,
It was a great feeling of satisfaction to make my own frame. It cost me $12 for the casing at Home Depot. Everything else I already had. :slight_smile:

@Mykle1 and I’m not gonna lie, your setup is sexy.

Ahhh! haha, thanks. I took great pains to get it just the way I liked it. I’m still not done tweaking it. It’s way too much fun
-
@Mykle1 I’m starting to see all the fun, I’m mapping out all the modules I want and I still can’t decided. I don’t think I want more than 6 but damn there are soooooooo many amazing ones

@SoleLo If you’re going to recess the cabinet into the wall, you could make a cheap box out of 2x4’s a few inches bigger than the medicine cabinet to run all of your wiring into and keep it in the wall. Then just pop in some cleats to mount the medicine cabinet into. The displays that I try and use have USB ports on them that give out enough power to run a pi zero so the only cable/cord you would need would be power to the display itself. you could probably just use some cable staples to fasten the cord to the hinge side and keep it fairly clean looking.
