Project Raptor - Vewlix Inspired Modular Console/PC Arcade Cabinet
SpaceHedgehog:
A couple of better pics now there's some daylight around.
It's taken me 4 days to do these doors ???
SpaceHedgehog:
A few bits have arrived. Hopefully I will find some time to sort out the mount for the display. I wanted a thin VESA mount rather than using the current MDF built one to allow the display to be 'set back' as far as possible.
Magnetic strip will be used on the lower door to keep it shut.
This is the display I've decided on (32 inch). It's thin and only has 16ms of input lag which is pretty good.
I will also be thinking about building the marquee this weekend.

I hope it doesn't disappoint!
Started on the marquee today rather than the TV mount - I'll wait to buy the display beforehand to ensure I have it at exactly the correct height.
I wanted something similar to the Golden Tee machine but a bit sleeker (less height) and chunkier at the back - I'm going to be paying particular attention to the profile of the machine due to the place it will be located (visible sideways through an open door). I've cut out the basic pieces. The front piece will be given a similar treatment to the doors.
The width is 40cm and the height 10cm.
The Golden Tee has something a little too big I think.
I think the marquee will give a better balance to the cabinet and make it feel much more like a real machine.

Well I had a little mishap with the front frame of the marquee - the MDF split (just a thin 'slice' at the top - didn't go through) and messed up the cuts. Nothing a bit of car body filler cant rectify though. You can see it on the right of the picture.
The marquee comes in 2 parts - the front frame and the back. The front will be finished in white and the back in black.
The back of the frame - recessed to allow for some acrylic and artwork:

Now back to filling the mistake and prepping it for painting .....
