This was an idea I got INSPIRED BY KYLEHESS & Mr. MIRACLE

Kylehess recently started a thread pointing out how to make a Case on a budget and it was nice but i was thinking it still has too much of a bookcase feel to it ( Kyle I am not knocking your idea just trying to progress from it )

Mr. Miracle pointed out a site on a Game Used base thread that sells cases. One of the cases is a Jersey holding case that simulates a players locker ( but it still feels like a case. http://www.sportscases.com/mlblorocastj.html

So I thought how can you combine both ideas together????? and it hit me!!!

You can go to IKEA and they have closets you can build yourself.

Here is an example

http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15597&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=56768&langId=-1&categoryId=15857&chosenPartNumber=S99826592

It will cost you a lot less as you don't have to buy the doors, take Kylehess's idea of buying the plexiglass from HomeDepot to close it in and you can set it up to display some of your great items as they would look in a players locker room It should really cost you no more then $200 unless you want to get real fancy

Here are some examples of Athletes lockers and what your homemade display should look like. If the pictures do not show here check Gettyimages by Image#
