Greetings all!...I finally got off my butt and started my desktop Mini Ms. Pac Man Cab.
I am going to be using a hacked Jakks Ms. Pac; 7" LCD screen; mini happ joystick with mini Sanwa (spelling?) buttons.
I just ordered the full side art and marquee/bezel from Classic Arcade Graphix (they did a FANTASTIC job on my Mame Invaders)....but I don't know the cost of the art yet.
For now, I just built a foam core model to get the dimensions down and have templates to cut the wood from.
I anticipate using MDF for the sides, standard Ms. Pac molding and most likely 1/4" pine (so it's smooth) for the rest of the cabinet.
The model only took about 2.5 hours....I just hope the wood cutting goes as well as the foamcore did!
I'm a little bummed that the monitor looks kinda small.....(it's supposed to be 7"); but I already invested a hundred bucks in it and I can't return it....so I'll stick with it.
Other than that...I'm pretty excited about this little project....now I have to get the wood and I live in Manhattan....not easy to carry on the train!.....
Here are some photos...I'll be sure to update as I get further---
Enjoy!
