Now I can get back to work on mine. :) Anyone finished or started their own modular panels since this thread was last active? --- End quote --- Is anyone ever done with a modular panel? ;) Well, I finished switching over to RJ45s for my modular setup and got around to wiring the OptiPac so I can use my trackball and spinner modules. I've been playing a lot of Centipede with a perfect layout. ;D I haven't seen any new ones yet, but I'm sure some folks are working on them. ~telengard |

The coolest (finished) modular setup I have seen is Doc's Modular MAME: http://www.beersmith.com/mame/. Well thought out, well built and well documented :) |

I like jelloslug's rail system. Doc's system "Can't cover panels with lexan/art" That's wrong. It's possile, you just need a well thought out repeating patern that the edges of each panel match up. Like a repeating pacman maze that I have seen as a wallpaper. Jello's rail system is how he over came Doc's con of "Need to secure joysticks - though I overcame this one" |

I thought someone was working on an art idea though. I doubt putting Lexan on it would work. That would be a tremendous lot of work and probably look really horrible. The seams would show up really bad. |

Unless you made the seems part of your art design then you wouldn't know there were there. |
