Thanks, that means alot coming from you. I am in love with your Retro-Futuristic cab. Great work!
I tend to spend as much time planing things out as I can. I spent 4 months planing and designing my full size mame cab. I only spent about a month on this one, which, this time I had a better understanding of what needed to be done.

I would love to offer kits. If I do, I will need to build my own CNC router. I don't think my friend would like his shop coated in MDF dust powder again.

I am using a fused power entry module from Lizard Lick.
I wired a two way splitter to it for my PC power supply and the monitor. The PC power supply is powering the fan and the 60 in 1 iCade board.
When I flip the switch on the power entry module it instantly powers the board, fan, and monitor.
I will post a few photos with better detail tonight.

Another quick update. Added T-molding and a few other things.
I still need to buy and cut the plexi for the screen and marquee, mount the monitor, apply the artwork, and mount the controls.
I will hopefully be done in two more weeks...
Fingers crossed, I can't wait to play.

Woah. Your power solution is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. So simple and so elegant! Do you have any details on how you hooked up the plug to the power outlet? Did you solder or just wrap with electrical tape?
Also, do you have a link to where you got that white plug on the end that everything will plug into?
Thanks :cheers:

Thanks, I'm glad you like my solution, I was looking for a very simple and compact way of doing this.
The plug is soldered on (quick disconnects would work too) then wrapped in electrical tape and the white three-way splitter was found on Amazon.com.

Awesome - thanks! I have been putting off finishing my jukebox because of the power cords (I just plug all 3 - the monitor, the computer and the speaker bar- into a strip right now and it is horrible). I thought I'd have to splice all 3 together and one of them has the big block on the end that I would have to open up and I didn't know how to do it AND I was a bit scared of setting the house on fire. Your solution is much much better. :cheers:
