Stampeed Valkyrie Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I just recently went over to an Ikea in philly and picked out a Detolf display case even has a light you can mount on the top. All in all for $99 this case rocks there is one drawback though, the glass shelving will slide and might possibly fall, how I solved this problem was I superglued the plastic clips that go on the supports to the glass shelving which solved the sliding problem. I looked at the others and in person the Detoulf had the best presentation ability. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mech9T8 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Just the info I was looking for. I was looking for a glass cabinet too and it just so happens I have a $100 gift certificate from Ikea. Detolf here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigofx28 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 deadzone if it's a 16 in unicron just use two of the glasses and the third bottom shelf leave it out to fit it for flexability. I'm planning to hang the 15" sdf-1 on it soon. I 'll show you a pix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark-1s Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Does anyone know if there's anybody who makes custom lighting for display cases? Preferably in Toronto. I'm in desparate need of some. Anybody ever try Chistmas lights ? Just an idea. -1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THey have these ones that look just like the kinds you find on ikea display cases. you might look into those. I don't know where you'd find them though. Can't be too difficult...

Draykov Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Anyone know where I can get a Detolf besides an IKEA store? They don't sell it at their US website (out of stock?), it's about $30 more at their Canadian site (not to mention shipping), and the closest store to me is miles away.

Draykov Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 i have an ikea like 10min away from me, but i duno if it'll work or not. Mainly because: A) I don't want to impose on anyone...I'd rather take care of it myself and B) I'm distrustful of people I don't know.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I personally wouldnt recommend shipping this display case. I think it would hold up ok but your looking at roughly 45-50 pounds of glass give or take so to ship the package would start costing some $$$. I had to drive 2 hours to get to philly for the ikea near me but it was worth the drive just make sure you drive something that you can bring it back in.

I may have to forget about it for the time being. Edited October 29, 2003 by Draykov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for lighting for your display case, some of the ones at Ikea do have the option of putting a light in. There are some places that will custm make a cabinet but they cost a fortune. You can try doing a search on Canada411.com. Click on find a business and use a keyword search of glass or cabinets. You'll have to some calling around. But if you want cheap then you can't beat Ikea. There's a new one on Hwy 400 and Hwy. 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
