Xbox DC cabinet

Here are some pics of my first cabinet that I have been working on.

The cab was an old stripped down Main Event cab.

looks sharp. damn looks like you are nearly done with it how long have you been working on it?  Have you started any artwork yet?  how are you keeping your steering wheel attached to the base to stop it from moving?  is that the model mad catz steering wheel that can work on the PS2 and PC also?  Thats on my list of things to eventually get is a steering wheel that'll work on my game consoles and pc and get a light gun after i finish my cab.  Gotta get my damn cab finished though  Its taking forever.

I've been working on it for over a year with about a 7 month break due to buying a house.  I'm juggling the two.

you started any artwork yet?

Not yet.  I have a few ideas, but i'm undecided.  Debating on keeping it simple and black on the sides??  That would seem a bit plain though.

how are you keeping your steering wheel attached to the base to stop it from moving?

The cabinet came with some clamps with the existing panel.  I will create other sets as I need them.  I can take pics if you need an example.

is that the model mad catz steering wheel that can work on the PS2 and PC also?

Yup, its a mad catz.  It works with gamecube and ps2 as well.  You would need a 'console to pc' converter if you wanted it for the pc?  Not sure if that would work as I have had not much luck with converters myself.  I have a separate steering wheel for the PC that I would probably create another panel for anyway (its been gathering dust for years).


I know what you mean on the taking forever part.  I try to dedicate a bit of time here and there when I can....
