Soul calibur cab *updated* abandoned.
Yenome:
So I grew a pair of balls and decided to just go ahead and discharge the tv so i could do some work on getting it in the cab. after a heart pounding discharge to which nothing happened. I broke 3/4 the plastic from the tv casing as i was aiming for a simular look to malenko tv mod. tho i wish i could just make my own open frame for this tv that would make it easier to put in the cab. I dont have any pics today as its early and im tired. One thing i did want to make note of was when i took the back off this tv there was a 10pin(or so) white connector on the board right behind where it said pc on the back. it looke like the RGB connector on an arcade PCB. a lil research shows that the bigger models of my tv has dvi connectors. im guessing that is what this is for if not it would be awesome if i could just use a vga to rgb connecter and bam multisync monitor.(yes i know im dreaiming leave me to my dreams) ill have pics of it all tomorrow gonna see if a buddy has the tools i need to cut the rest of the plastic away and see bout a good way to mount the tv.

I know i said a few days ago I would have pics up but the PCB in the cab messed up so i had to spend a day fixing it. here two cabinet pics of the tv in place but i didnt bolt it down yet as i was too tired already fell sleep twice. I did all the modding of the case with a screw driver and a pair of pliers cause I'm awesome like that or something. Since i dont have the remote to fix the major overscan the tv has i got a lil converter box that helps with overscan. it supports up to 1280x1024 tho i think ill stick with 640x480. wont be 480p but when i buy the remote ill be able ot make my adjustments and remove the box from the loop. I now have to find a new place to mount the mobo tray i took out of a pc since i was mounting it agaist the back wall that the tv is now barely clearing. think i might just slap it on the side in the bottom so ill have some room to work on it if i need to. tho i plan on building a new control panel if i do keep this cab. Personally I would prefer to not have to reach through the coindoor to latch the control panel. I still havnt decided if i want to wire up the coin door or not. if i do i will either make it so putting in a quarter does what it should or ill just make the coin return register a coin.
