The only person I know who has a camera that I can get pics from right now won't let it out of their house because they spent more than I make in a month on it. I bought cheapass one at Wally World and found out that you have to have the room lit up like all the people combined in Time's Square on New Year's Eve. I'll try it with mine later, but I'm not promising anything. |

You know someone who bought a camera that can never leave the house? Do they just take pictures of their furniture all day? ;D Sorry, that's not meant as a jab at you or your friend but I laugh at that because I know people like that... people who would spend an ungodly amount of money for a 'tool' but don't use it at all because they're afraid of it depreciating more that 1/32 of a cent in value. Then there's my friend's girlfriend who keeps all her DVDs sealed. As if Reindeer Games is going to really skyrocket in value... As for a camera just run out and pick up a disposable and have it developed to disk (or scanned at Kinko's). You're going to need it for when you finish your project anyway. ;) |

Actually, not the furniture, but the birds that fly around their house. They use it when they're on vacation and that's about the only action that thing gets...wow...am I describing the camera or me!? Anyways...I threw a little temper tantrum earlier and the cabinet is now gutted...but it could easily be put back together. I'm not going to modify the cabinet itself until I get the paint stripped down to see if it really hides something worthwhile, or something gay. By the way, I've got a question for anyone with the knowledge. If I were to set this up with an AT power supply, what would be the easiest way to extend the wires for the power switch? Splice or solder? I want to extend them so that I can use the flip switch on the top. |

I'm thinking that since all the parts from that cab worked (except the PCB) that I'm going to make a cocktail cabinet of sorts when I get the time. I found a guy who made one that just looks sweet as hell and I think I'm gonna steal part of his plans. He had the monitor mounted so that it was angled toward one of the long sides, and mounted two sets of controls there...so essentially it's still a cocktail cab, but you don't have to bother with trying to hunt down games that flip if you want mulitiplayer. I'm at work now, and the link is at home...otherwise it would be posted... |
