Artifact tribute - upright conversion
jimmy2x2x:
Hi, yeah its plastic T moulding, but its very rigid and still pretty reflective - shame its damaged in some areas or I would have kept it
I used the jigsaw to shave off the face of the dell monitor, and have filled the dell logo and button holes
I will be sanding it and fine filling it again today - to be sprayed later
Its secured to the monitor glass with very strong velcro
Which im also using to secure to PC components to the cab, ideal for quick removal but secure fixing

Little update with latest progress
2 player control panel, I moved the fire buttons as far up the panel as possible to give a little palm room under the buttons.
Player 2 controls might need to move left an inch or so, its a bit awkward reaching the far right buttons, but the space between player 1 and 2 feels good - no hand bumping
4 admin buttons, hidden from view under the CP, also the front facing buttons are: red = coin / white = start
Coin doors, stripped and resprayed - need a light sanding, one more coat then clear coat
Top door will hide an admin panel
4 x lockout switches for admin buttons (so it will stay in single game mode)
volume control
power button
marquee light power toggle
footwell light power toggle
network socket
4 x usb sockets
bottom door conceals the subwoofer
2x 12" cold cathodes, + backs of speakers
de-shelled satellite speakers - I need to counter sink the mounts so they are flush and protect the speakers with some mesh or something
Player 1 controls fully wired to a DB25 (thanks for the sockets Franco!), currently going into a PS1 project box then USB adapter to the PC, this will offer me maximum compatibility with other systems. If I keep the VGA monitor in there I can use my Dreamcast and 360, I might try and find a decent multisync monitor or even a TV, not sure yet.
I have also commissioned GuyDanger, from the forums, to interpret the Street Fighter cabinet art pictured above, can't wait!

Edited to add: I thought he called it his "Jamma Woody" but I can't see any threads with that title. Franco? Have I gone barking mad or is my memory better than I thought it was?
Bah! I'm going mad. I can't find Franco's cab. This may be the same as Level 42's cab also?

Ha ha! You are not going mad, I do have that one that you linked to below :)
I didn't do a PA as I haven't really intended or done much work to it. The old monitor was fubar so I put a 29" 15khz monitor in and some Jap buttons/joys but thats it. I'm just using it as a cab to play my Jamma/MVS PCBs on whilst I'm working on my main Naomi project.
Currently waiting in for Mr Courier to deliver Bucky O Hare ;D
Its looking good Jimmy. Nice to see some Jap controls ;)
If I was you I would be tempted to move P1 joystick over to the left and increase the spacing slightly between each players joystick and buttons.

Thanks Franco, yeah I will look into the controller spacing this week sometime
get it finalised
Quick in progress shot of some vinyl applied, t moulding gone, coin door partly stripped etc..
Dont worry about the missing strip at the back, thats for something else ;)
