I've been working on this for a few weeks now, taking a few pictures with my phone as I go. I thought I'd throw them up here for all to see.

Very nice. What size monitor is going in there?
Any artwork or theme in mind?

It's getting a 19" flatscreen 'square' monitor. It'll be painted DK Blue with white t-molding. If there is any artwork it will be cut out of 1/4" plywood and painted.

Looking great so far - what sticks will you be using?

It'll have one of Ultimarc's switchable joysticks, an Ultimarc trackball and about 19 buttons.

Finally getting back to this, put a coat of paint on everything this morning. Also, my office is a mess!

Working on this again, got the power button wired up last week. I might have this playable in the next week or so!

JRC:
Did you end up soldering the power switch leads to one of the breakout boards at the front of the dell? Or was there a wire to tap into at some point past the ribbon cables back to the MB?
good looking bartop.

I connected them to the little board that sits at a funny angle at the front of the machine. Pins two and three of the 16 pin connector if I remember right. I just disconnected the existing connector, it only effects the power button and the LED lights on the front panel anyway.

I just put what I am determined will be the final coat of paint on this, really anxious to get started on the assembly portion of this project!

T-molding! Not bad for my first effort.

If you don't look too close this doesn't look too bad, I think I might just rebuild the CP though, one of the trackball bolts pushed through. The plexiglass work could be better too.

What are you doing for a marquee? I like the design. Nice job on the bezel

No real marquee to speak of, just some cut out letters that will say ARCADE or something equally clever.
