X-Carve CNC Enclosure

I've purchased one of the X-Carve 1000mm kits and while I'm waiting for delivery I'm designing a cabinet with top opening enclosure to help with dust/noise reduction.

Any advice, ideas (pictures would be very helpful) about a cabinet/enclosure would be great.

If anyone cares, I will be using a DeWalt 611 router as the spindle and plan to add led strip lighting inside the cabinet, performing mods to the X and Y axes for stiffening, etc. and slightly altering the way the eccentric nuts/wheels are attached.  I've ordered the SuckIt dust boot and will use a Dust Deputy mini cyclone with the shop vac at the unit.  In future I may also add a small laser engraver and a deep water aquarium air blower to help with chip/dust ejection/extraction.  It's too big to fit inside my shop (I can't dedicate 4'x4') so I'll be placing the whole unit in my basement.
