My Cabinet Finished
« on: January 24, 2004, 11:41:33 pm »
WHEEE!! its done :)

i havnt been posting much but been following the forums the past months, so you have helped me alot without your knowledge. thanks!!!

because of my location some of the stuff was almost impossible to get hold of. Had to settle for old-fasioned coindoors used/butcherd T-Molding 8)

its my first cabinet and wanted to keep it simple, i think it turned out fairly well.


just need to add some coasters or a platform under the cabinet, the control panel came a bit too low.

I appreciate your modesty but you did a bang up job!  You can always build another one and learn from your mistakes!

I'm guessing you're not located in the states.  Where are you located?

very nice!

looks like you have some trim to the left and right of the monitor bezel and plexiglass?  Can't quite make it out, but could you explain what you used?  Its a very nice finishing touch (and one I may use!), thanks,

i'm located in Denmark.

thanks, the trim around monitor bezel and plexiglass is some soft rubber, sticky on one side. i think its used to isolate windows.

Zombie - I noticed only 3 buttons - did you sort your roms to only display the ones that support 3 buttons? I like it, nice, simplistic, doesn't try to be too much.

its more of a favourites list and ended up that almost all the games used 3 buttons or less :)

it was a real tough decision. 6 or 3 buttons? decieded to go with 3 pr player.
