--- Quote from: P-chan on May 11, 2012, 12:28:45 am ---I bought and just received that wall mount that you have pictured (strangely enough, I also have the exact same jigsaw), have you messed with the wall mount yet? It had good reviews on Amazon. I have a pedestal and I'm mounting the TV onto the wall in front. The TV has been ordered and is on the way.

It's pretty heavy duty, solid construction. The actual mounting bracket (the part that goes to the wall) appears to be ~2" off-center from where the monitor's center point is.
I'm about to work on installing it this morning, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Since folks didn't seem to care about my "timeline" style of blogging this project, I'm going to just post more pics as we go.
Most of the assembly is done now. Took me three tries to get one of the clamping knobs to line up right on the steering wheel mount, but I got it all together finally. It's a good thing I got it done on that third try too, I broke my 2 spare threaded inserts in the process.
Going back to P-chan's question; the monitor mount is pretty great. The movement action is very smooth and it doesn't make any sound (at least, not yet.)
Hooked up the PS3 to play some GT5 and I'm very happy with the results. Ergonomically speaking, it's much more comfortable than the old unit. Looking forward to priming/painting and installing the PC.

Pretty sweet, I like how modular it is.

No I was never actually going to call it Super Mameolix SimCade 2.
Been a busy week outside of the project. The real name finally hit me upside the head while on the subway. The Final Stage. Both in terms of the evolution of this design idea... and the end of the game: the place that everybody wants to get to, where the rivalry ends... and someone wins. I like that a lot. (There's also a loose allusion to rally racing "stages" ... it's not a strong connection, but it's good enough.) Hopefully I'll have some artwork to post in a few days...
That is, after I prime and paint this thing. That's going to have to wait until tomorrow, but I've already prepped everything - picture attached.
Should be getting most of the remaining parts (the marquee lighting, a couple of jig knobs for the steering wheel, the speaker grill, etc.) this week. It won't be done by Memorial Day weekend because of the artwork, but it's close...

This is very nice indeed, especially looking at the workspace you have :applaud: :applaud:
What sound system are you using, the speakers look suspiciously like they belong with a cambridge soundworks DTT3500.
