Vigolix Green Invader Cabinet

Doesnt have to be gloss, you can use matte.

Yup.  Either one works since you're painting it on the back side.  Whether you use flat black or gloss, it will still appear as gloss on the front side due to the plexi.  I just used 2x gloss black since I already had it on hand from painting the brackets.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say thanks to DeLuSioNal29 and Vigo for their cabinet design.

I decided to do like you guys and take your design, modify and and try to improve it a bit.

Cheers,

Merlin

Thanks DeLuSioNal29 for the easy to make design.  Did you leave space between the bezel plexi and the monitor?

[DeLuSioNal29]

I give all the credit to Vigo here on the forums who came up with the original design.  :-)

There is no space between the plexi and the monitor.  The LCD monitor helps keep it in place while the top marquee bracket pushes down on it.

I plan on releasing a "How to build a Vigolix" video on my channel this Friday (at the usual 10am release time).  I showed some of the raw footage to Vigo when I hung out with him last month at Zapcon and I have his blessing to release it.

Wanted to add some paint codes.  I've built this in Green, Blue and now a new one (in the new episode) in orange.  I've also included my (future) Ms. Pac pink paint code as well.  I had them color matched to the matching T-molding.  (With the exception of the Orange).  However, they all go great with Sanwa colored ball tops:  Neon Green, Neon Pink, Blue and Orange.

Enjoy!

cool,

You most be quite tall or you made an particularly small Vigolix.

[GrizzlyThunder]

This is perfect! How much room is in the base? Can you place a tower behind there or a subwoofer?

I made one and I would say not really.

Here are some plans for the original Vigolix.

Dang... is it big enough for custom side art? Lol

Also would it be an easy mod to make the control panel exchangeable ?

I also figured I'd add some pics of the new Orange version.

Yes! I've been looking out for it all morning in-between clients.

Nice!  I just updated the description in the video on Youtube with links to files, artwork, tools and parts.  (including power brick, thin speakers and 12 foot black surge protector - which work great with this build).

Enjoy!

Nice build. In the video you said you spent about $200. It looks grate but people looking to do one as a first build or on the cheep can do it for about $100. Less if you get a free PC and monitor.
