hmmm, 1plyr + t-ball, or is that pushing it...

That may be. I could always include the normal control panel, and then a blank one for you to play with.

[TheDude]

That's a full-size Vewlix, not a bartop.

It looks so, my humble apologies

Hmmmm why not a bartop viewlix?   I think that could look pretty awesome.

[TheDude]

termin8tor is building one at the moment and a guy from another acade forum also  does !

[PTD]

Can someone create this?

[rablack97]

Yeah that's Selfie's masterful acrylic job isn't it.

Ah ok cool.......waiting on some money on a job i just completed....i'll pm you when ready.....

[HaRuMaN]

Cool deal...

As far as other projects go, next is that Vewlix (full size) and then a mini-virtual pin.  After that, I can look at other designs.

The acrylic one is pretty cool, but I currently have no way of bending that stuff.

[HaRuMaN]

Playing around with the vinyl cutter. Need to order some transfer paper, very hard to line up otherwise.

Here's how I lit the buttons:

Cathode vs Multi Colored Led strips (~$30) on amazon?  what do you guys think?  I'm debating about white or red cathodes then my coworker brought this into the equation.   Will led strips give the same glow effects?  thanks in advance.

Hooked the Xbox up while waiting for my rgb to vga adapter:

[Articus]

By rgb, you mean component (YPBPR) cables?  If so, wich vga adapter do you recommend?

I'm using to convert the signal from a real Neo Geo motherboard for this project.

Is this still the 19" LCD?

No, this is a 20.1" Dell 2001FP.  It just fits, no decasing.   

[SNAAKE]

doesn't have to be a plastic cabinet tho. wood version of that cabinet would still be really nice.

but I need to stfu and put together the cabinet I already bought lol..

[rablack97]

Ha you got shafted too....i just ordered the same damn board yesterday then came across it cheaper.....

If you not in a hurry you can bid on the same board from HK and China, starting at 18.88

How do you guys secure the power supply?  Securing the power supply in the computer case is easy because of the screw holes of the computer case but I don't know a good way to secure the power supply.

A mini pin would be amazing, I have a setup right now that I just haven't gotten around to building a box for. 19" 4/3 back glass and 24" playfield. I really hope your design can accommodate a 24" playfield. It probably wouldn't be too hard as there should be more room to work with compared to a bar top mamecab.

i use l brackets, there are some wider ones from Home depot or lowes that have like 3 random holes so you can screw into the PSU and then into the actual machine....

these are coollll

[JDFan]

L-brackets work well but I've also used Velcro strips.

L-brackets work well but I've also used Velcro strips.

PSU, AMP, and CP are all held by Velcro on mine. Works great and is awesome for if you need to remove or make changes.

Looking good, Mr. Carter!!!! 
Nice work....

The Sweathogs approve.

Well I got my barstick in yesterday.  I got it put together last night.  Now I need to get the parts for it & the marquee. Then figure out something for a colored 1/2" t-mold.  Might try to see if the dye takes to it or not.   I am kicking around of doing Kung Fu Master for this, one I love that old school game.  I grew up playing it in the day.  Plus the marquee is pretty cool.    My other thoughts are Rampage or Raiden, well see.
But here she is, its pretty.... Thanks Huraman looks great!!!
Once it is finished, I will update.

How do you place and secure the motherboard to the bartop cabinet ?

That looks OUTSTANDING!!! I can't wait to see the finished product.

You can try automotive vinyl dyes on a white piece of t-molding. it's 1000x better than most of these paint cans that are supposedly made for plastic.

Popular brands are SEM, VHT, Plasticote, Color Bond and dupli-color.

have no idea if it will actually work on t-molding but i do know that lots of guys that paint vinyl and plastics swear by it. worth giving it a shot.

How do you place and secure the motherboard to the bartop cabinet ?

Just used a few wood screws to secure it to the bottom. One part of the micro-atx mobo peeked out from under the monitor and just under the cp.

It is worth giving it a try.  Something out there has to dye the T-mold.   I just cant believe that there are only black & white for 1/2" T-mold.  Found red, grey & charcoal but have to get 500'.  No thank you, dont need that much 1/2".
