Console placement idea?
« on: April 18, 2013, 09:34:09 pm »
When I went to buy my cabs, the guy ended up giving me two for the price of one. I was looking it over today and this idea popped in my head.  The cab was a ticket redemption game. It has two doors in the front. The idea was to place my PS3 in one and the Xbox 360 in the other. Line the opening with some rgb leds and Im good to go. Would make it easier to excess  the consoles and help with cooling. Thoughts?

Im sure everyone will agree that the 360 needs an extremely well vented area, but my personal concern is standing them up (the 360 anyway). If I put them in there I would make sure you have good airflow at the very least

I am ridiculous when it comes to scratched disks. I don't think I have ever touched the etched side of a disk in my life just b/c I'm so protective. When I used my xbox in the upright position I noticed the drive was scratching the disks. laying it down solved the problem.

Just some food for thought..

don't forget the 360 PSU has a fan in it also..

Similar, but much older - I put an old NES in my DK cab, and access it via the coin door (mechs removed).  Works really well.

I access a x360, ps2, and xbox 1 via the coindoor in one of my cabs with no issues.
