Had a few minutes spare time so wired in the power switch extension, am not the greatest at soldering but does the job and no one will know when the lid is back on ;) Removed the 4 screws that hold on the daughter board, flipped it over, added some solder to the very small pins for the power switch then solder on the wires, put a bit of tape to cover the soldered wires then routed the wires under the daughter board, screwed it back down, used a couple of zip ties to secure the wires to the side of the case then fed them thru the Kensington lock hole along with the 2 wires for the fan, quite tidy i think, replaced the case lid, guess i should have tested before putting it back together.......no need as it worked a treat just by touching the 2 wires (green and black) to switch on the machine, will use a LED switch like on my other bartops, think i have one around here somewhere, if not I'll just use a spare 30mm button from a zero delay kit, slow progress i know but at least i'm moving forward. that's all for now :) |

Dodged a quick thunder and shower storm to knock out the middle panels and plexi, decided to make it the same width as the decased monitor (278mm), thought i had cut them a little too tight but works perfectly, phew, as seen in my very quick mock-up it's a snug fit :) Still gotta work a few things but winging it as i go, bit like my other builds. (grabbed a few random books to higher up the monitor, blanked out the titles to stop too many questions ;) ) |

Looking good. What kind of set up puts the marquee on top like that? |

There are some true vertical coinops releases but I wanted pinball as well :) |

There's also a vertical hyperspin called hyperV 1.8 (MAME) but it's not as polished as coinops. |
