| Dragonman73:
I personally am taking my pc apart and mounting everything seperate in the case, my reasoning behind it is that I am somewhat ocd and want the inside of the cabinet to "look" like the inside of an actual arcade cabinet versus just dropping a complete pc in there. It adds to the illusion that it's the real thing. |

This especially goes for some small form factor computers that may have been recycled from embedded devices and/or industrial use. Had that issue with some via motherboards. --- End quote --- This can easily be fixed by running a wire from one of the motherboard screws to the power supply chassis. Use the red round or u shaped crimp terminals. Slip it under a mobo screw, and the other under one of the screws holding the cover on the power supply. As for appearance, I agree. Just popping a computer into it is easy and quick, but then your cab is just a controller, whereas "building" your components into your cab make more of an "arcade machine". I guess it's a love thing. Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk |

Dust bunnies still like open spaces. As long as you clean your cab every month or so, I could not imagine a problem. If the MB is passive then by all means, if there is fans involved - just what is being circulated? |
