Yup...just start with a block with the general dimensions, then draw and extrude all of the features.

Yeah, just draw a cube thats 63x50x100 (i think those were the dimensions) then draw the other shapes on the sides of the cube and extrude it. Start with the big cut outs, like the big quater pipe in the front then start doing the littler ones.
