The booth has four sides, two of which have slideable walls. One "door" will remain permantly closed, while the other "main door" will be used for turning the booth on. The main access door is also a light box design (the pictures will explain it better) Inside there is a controller that has a main power switch, and buttons to turn on the computer, camera, and printer (the lights are always on, but you can add a switch for that too) There are also status LEDs to let you know that the computer is indeed on.

With this design, even if someone opens the main door, all they can really do is turn everything on/off (NOT STEAL THE PARTS) The door is kept closed by 4 concealed wooden dowels that need to first be removed before the door could slide open.

Can you please post some dimensions? I'd really like to do this project but I'm most nervous about the construction aspects.
