The Final Stage - (06-22-12: Project COMPLETE. Final pics in OP!)

:badmood: Sorry for the lack of updates, folks. (all two or three of you that have been reading. No Mom, I love you, but you don't count!) The weather over the last few days was indeed crappy, and I've been pretty beat up from work on top of that, so there's not much to say:
I'm tired of the whole "Occam" naming convention. It's got to go. Why? It takes too long to explain to people! It was a clever pun the first time, but expanding on it just doesn't work. Must come up with an easier name, preferably one without "-cade" as a suffix... no offense to anyone who has a Cade of some sort! Suggestions welcome...
I did manage to bang out the saw-board before the rain came, but I still haven't finished mapping out the side profiles yet. (P.S.: Like AIDS, MDF dust is real, kids. Protect yourself.)
I also received the HDMI splitter/switch from Monoprice and tested it out last night. HDMI handshake doesn't always work smoothly, but I think that's more to do with how my TV and monitor behave than the switch. All in all, another piece of the puzzle, and worth the price I paid.
Tomorrow is my day off, so I am hopeful that I'll finally get some of the panels cut. However, I also have to wait around inside for UPS to bring our new TV stand, so who knows? At the very least I should be able to finish the side profiles and organize my assembly checklist while I wait. First thing I'm doing is sleeping in...

There's no way in hell I would live in a city. I just have too much crap! Hats off to ya.
Mine was also not a -cade. I basically created a note on my iphone and whenever I saw something or thought of a word, I'd write it down. This went on for about a week. One night I was working on something and I decided to take out the note and write it down on paper...
My fave color is blue. My fave franchise is The Matrix. I guess the exercise of writing down the words made something click.
Hence...The Blue Pill (Morpheus Lied)...
If the occam's razor stuff is still in yer mind, how about a hidden plaque inside the cab? Or maybe "Occam's Amusements" stickers on the coin doors?

For a racing cab you can suffix it with "-sim"... short for simulator. ;)

Fellow NY-er following. I'm jealous that you have a workspace outside. I'm about to do some routing in my kitchen...when my wife is at work. Must clean all dust before she returns.

Truth be told, for one brief moment I thought about calling it "The Scimitar" (SIM-itar, ya know?) ... but that name didn't stick for me.
I felt like, well ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, if I'm going to go there, I might as well call it ... "The SIM-it-AR-CADE!"
Uhhh... no.

Did that when I finished the control panel and my gf was out of town (too cold to do it outside back in January.) Be especially careful if you're doing plexi... we kept finding little shards of it around the kitchen floor for about a week after, despite my best sweeping and vacuuming efforts ... I'm glad she's understanding.
