Ultimate Dreamcast Arcade Cabinet
Larrabee:
I am converting my generic cabinet that once housed a 1xxx-in-1 Jamma board to the, "Ultimate Dreamcast Arcade Cabinet." Should be running at 100% in a few weeks thanks to HarumaN.
Specs:
* Generic Cabinet with Sony 21" VGA Monitor, Happs buttons and sticks
* Sega Dreamcast Console
* 2 MadCatz Light Guns ($40 together off of Amazon)
* 2 Sega Fishing Rods ($30 off of Amazon)
* Wiring for arcade controls to DC ($100, again, thanks to HarumaN)
The plan is to drill one- 2" hole on each side for the light guns and fishing rods. Make a shelf for the dreamcast to sit inside of the coin door.
What I need (let me know if you have any ideas):
* Holders for the rods and guns for each side of the cabinet
* Some kind of rubber to cover the holes so they don't look rough.
Here is where I am at so far:
Larrabee:
Picked up a 1 3/4" Hole saw and the caps for the light gun and fishing rod controllers:
Just sent HarumaN the cash for the controller hacks.
Any suggestions on holsters for the rods and guns?
Also any suggesting for finding a Dreamcast Themed Marquee?
Larrabee:
OK, got all of the wood working done today.
Here is a video of all of it:
And here are some pics.

I love the DC, surprised more people haven't done something with it. For a marquee, something classic without every character on it would be stellar. Perhaps pick a favorite game or character and use that as the foundation. Sonic, Ryu, Ulala, Jacky, Dr. Eggman, etc. I always liked the Confidential Mission color scheme and design, myself.

Where is the best place to get these made? I am guessing Game Graphix?
