B: what kind of material did you use underneath the plexi?  If you used wood, did you route it first so that the joysticks would be far enough up?

I cant answer for MADK but from what I can guess.....
the plexi looks like 1/8 thickness and its 1/2 wood and he didnt have to route.
am i correct madk(my guesses are pretty good ehh?)?

It's a 27" Sansui TV from Best Buy.  Got it for a good $199.99.  Right now I'm using my GF4TI4600 for tv out but will use an ATI card when I acutally build a dedicated system for the cab.

The lexan is 1/4"  (Nice try snakeee)

The top of the cp is actually made out of 1/2" ply wood while the rest of the cab is made out of mdf.   Wood + plexi = 3/4" which give the sticks an excellent height.


--- Quote ---Very nice design. What plans did you follow?
--- End quote ---

I actually drew up the plans myself.  It's really easy and I don't know why more people freak out over plans.  We've all played and seen hundreds of cabs.  Once I get my site up and running I'll draw up the plans.


--- Quote ---what size are that speakers (4", 5", 6") and what brand????????
--- End quote ---

5" Thump I believe is the brand.  Got them cheap at Meijers.  (Local superstore in MI).  I've got them hooked up to an old set of Altec Lansing speakers.  Great sound quality...the thing really bumps.

P1 & 2 are in the middle.  No need for 6 buttons on 4 players games....just a waste.

Ok I think that answered all the questions. :)  Thanks for the posts guys.  The site will be up in a matter of weeks...(Gotta get some pics developed and scanned)

Here is another pic...



I did manage to get the bezel perfected last night...now I only have to touch up my t-molding (I really f'ed it up).  No one else can really tell but I am a perfetionist.  I also got my dad to cut a sheet of real glass to put over the monitor...it looks sooooooo sweet now.  Almost done!!!

 :o WARNING OFF TOPIC ALERT  :o

Isn't Meijer a great store?  ;D Just kidding, not that it isn't a great store but I'm a little biased since I work for them.

ITrek:

Meijer is a great store.  My wife gets goose bumps whenever she gets the Meijer ads in the mail.  :)

 :o Warning - way way off topic alert  :o

Is it just a thing that we people in Michigan do or is this something nation wide.  I noticed that MADK called the store "Meijers" with an s.  Most people I know use this same plural on store names.  Like "I bought it a KMARTs" or "Lets go to Penney's" when the names of these stores are Meijer, KMART, and JCPenney with the s on the end.
I always wondered if this was some kind of regional weirdness
