Thanks, itching to put it all together but don't wanna rush it  :)

Had a good few hours today working on putting it together and wiring, will save the completed pictures for another day  ;)

Been a lot of fun but also frustrating working in such a small space inside the bartop, trying to fit all the wiring in and make sure it doesn't foul the fans or get pinched when it's together.

Still need to work on the config for the controls as sometimes it skips letters on it's own or it doesn't always switch to pinball or back again, am sure i'll get it sorted  ;D

YES it is fully together and playable as i lost an hour just picking random games and testing them out, tempest is surprisingly easy with a joystick  >:D

TTFN  :)

Sorted (mostly) the software side of things as it now boots straight to coinops (used the guide on here) have left the pointer visible, only shows for a few seconds, just in case i need to alter anything.

Just need a PVC/plastic L trim (out of stock at the moment) for the top and it's done, the back is a very snug fit, as once it's unscrewed you have to gentle tug at the fan grill to prise it open  :o, have used a wireless mini keyboard so shouldn't need to open it up anyways.

The side button led doesn't seem that bright in person, warning stickers i printed myself along with the side sticker, knocked it together in about 10 mins then printed on matt vinyl i had laying around, kinda reminds me of a power up in many games  ;)

It's still a bit quirky in the coinops menu, need some more research when i can be bothered  >:D

Only EXTRA costs are the wood grain vinyl and L trim (once back in stock) so call it £8.80 for a finished machine  ;)

Well that's it i guess for this build...................until the next  :)

I like the woodgrain.
