WIP Street fighter cab started :D

Make sure you sand and polish the edge of the plexiglas - it will really give it a "professional" look and you will be amazed at the difference (the router always leaves scuff marks along the edge).
Can you post more pics/details on how you are planning to access the hinges inside your CP? I see the (hidden) holes for your hands to get in there but how do you get to them? Does the entire CP come off first?
Finally, how are you going to power on your TV when you power on the computer - is that going to be an issue?
This thing is looking really sharp - I can't wait to see some art on there. :cheers:

What? You don't keep socks on your roosters across the pond? ;D
jahilton2002:
no we dont lol :lol
the latches for the control panel are easily gotten to via the front "door" or via the keyboard draw....
the tv will be powered via a two stage switch from on top of the cab..... first powers the pc.... second stage powers the tv..... the scart to vga is wired to auto switch to AV (although this hasn't been tested yet)
not sure if the power switch for both the pc and tv can be on the same parallel wired switch...... if that makes sense...... but i'll look more into this as i get there.
thx for the comments
jahilton2002:
hear show the cp catches in more detail

I have wondered this myself and thought it would be best to use a DPDT or DPST momentary switch to keep the circuits seperate. However, I couldn't find a DPDT or DPST microswitch that would fit on the end of an arcade button, so if you want an arcade button for the power button, this wouldn't work. But if you're flexible you can probably find a DPDT or DPST momentary switch/button that wouldn't look half bad.
