It's just like any other cab, but instead of controller interfaces, you gut controllers, and instead of PCs you do consoles. Nothing special to see, so long as you can interface your console with your monitor correctly. |

Relax. It's usually easier to answer specific questions than it is to present an entire build to you in a single posting. Did you do some research on the subject? A console in a cab is pretty basic and many of the earliest home built cabs were built around consoles. That cab may look like crap by todays standards, but remember, that kid built it in 1987 when he was 13. If I had that kind of gumps building a cab at 13, I can guarantee I would be a hell of lot farther than where I am today. DillonFoulds beat me to the answer. It's like he says, a console cab boils down to nothing more than a really fancy entertainment center. The connections for the TV, power, console, etc are all the same. The only "custom work" that needs to be done is hacking the controller to work with standard arcade controllers or buying one of those adapters. You already know you want a 360, so look at the controller hacks in our console forum. |
