Quick update: Battery holder mounted today.
Had to cut a square hole out of the bottom to fit the holder. Used my drill to bore a big enough hole for the jigsaw /w metal blade to cut the square out.
Then I cleaned it up with a small file. I took the piece I cut out and used it to keep the battery secured to the bottom piece. Finished it off by throwing on some vinyl I had laying around. Turned out pretty good for almost a couple hours work.
It protrudes a bit from the bottom, but that's alright since I'll have rubber feet installed and should have enough clearance under.

Niiiiiiiiice...you have a good Blanka!
Love the crossover Blanka Roll -->Electricity. My favourite...
Blanka vs Blanka can be rough sometimes, especially when both are decent players. ;)
Perhaps we'll bump into each other online. :D
My xbox live name is Galaxbox, named after my cabinet!

Bunch of stuff was done this weekend, I'm almost there.
First, mounted the controller pcb (cleanly hacked by HarumaN).
I had to cut away a bit of the circular "support pillar" to fit the PCB in place. It fits pretty snug, so all I used were cable-ties to keep it from shifting around. But it's solid!
The sync button was then installed. I used a momentary pushbutton, screwed into a piece of the cut away support pillar plastic, which is Gorilla-glued in front of the hole that the wire used to come out of.
The button is close enough so that I can fit my pinky in the hole and hit the button. Works well enough for me!
I then soldered a couple wires for the battery connection, and ran them to a cut-up terminal strip. This is place near the battery holder spot.
I re-installed the select and start buttons (now Guide and Start), along with the rest of the parts. The yellow buttons look pretty good with the green, I was going to paint them another colour, but I'm short on time, and this turned out pretty good as is.
Then after a few hours of wiring, everything is hooked up and works great!
My wiring job isn't the cleanest, but I didn't want to spend too much time messing about.
Everything fits well and snug inside. I had to extend one of the terminal strips HarumaN installed, just so that the wires can be spread around the case rather than just bunching up in one area.
I really love the weight to this now, it's a lot more hefty with all the parts installed.
All that's left is get my artwork from the printers, install rubber feet at the bottom (should prop it up about a 1/4 inch), and put a few "finishing touches" on it. :cheers:
