That was pretty expensive right? Looking for a nice coin door but 120 pounds + shipping from UK is quite a lot compared to the ones from Arcadewinkel.nl (who unfortunately have yellow buttons). Nevermind, I just ordered a coin door from arcadeshop.de. :) --- End quote --- I bought the coin door with mech from arcadewinkel.nl. At that time it had the best price and availability compared to the other shops. --- End quote --- Hmm, it seems they only have the ones with the yellow return coin buttons (and out of stock). Eventually the one from Arcadeshop.de is complete and with shipping only 5 euros more expensive. |

Hello, Nice to spot a Dutchman in my search for a design for an arcade cabinet. I see it's been a while since you've been online on this forum, so I hope you see this post. I want to build a similar cabinet. Only I strubble how high the control panel should be. How did you get to this height? 105 cm if I see it correctly? But 105 cm seems a bit high to me? I'm 1.87 tall so I want to do it a bit higher than standard. However, I also have to deal with the wife and children. |

@Niels I am building one based on your ideas. I wonder how you wired the on/off switch to the computer. How to proper shutdown and start the computer from the switch |

How to proper shutdown and start the computer from the switch --- End quote --- The round red arcade button is wired to the power switch pins on the motherboard. - Press this button and let the computer shut down before you turn off the main power switch. (the square lighted one) If you set the computer BIOS to boot when power is restored, it will boot when you turn on the main power switch. - If it won't automatically boot when you turn on the main power switch, press the round red arcade button. --- Quote from: Niels Arcade on November 15, 2017, 05:06:25 am ---power switch (will cut all power) and button to power on/off the computer (if PC is off, but main power switched on the marquee and button lights will stay lit). --- End quote --- Scott |
