Game Gauntlet - DONE!... well mostly.
Mark70:
I think I already posted a shot of the finished CP.
Oh, when you get your artwork printed, specifically request that they print it without any borders. My CP art was shrunk by 1/4" all around and it has little screw ups in the corners which I'm going to have to stick something under the plexi to hide.

Wow...I'm glad I read this post. I didn't know there was a place in Toronto to buy arcade parts. It's not always convenient to place orders from the US. Since I'm going to the International Auto Show Friday..I'll have to stop by Starburst. I have been lurking long enough and will get my project into high gear. Actually I bought a used PC in Markham last Friday to use in my CAB.
- IBM NetVista 8307 2.66G w/40G
-HP 21" CRT monitor (Sony Trinitron Tube w/dual VGA inputs..Dreamcast???)
I haven't thought much into a design for my CAB yet. I like the Lusid style the best. On the the forum is a sweet CAB...The Neon. Wow! I would compare your CAB closely with that. All of the above are very clean examples of what I would like to accomplish.
Best of all..my wife approves. :) Just as long as she gets a remodel of our down stairs bathroom (started on Friday...can't wait till it's done...I'd rather build a CAB!!).
Cornchip ;D
Mark70:
This cab owes just about everthing to the neon.

I like this project. I'd like to ask if your still offering the plans in DWG.
PM sent.
Cornchip :D

Thanks Mark. That looks like the right file (2D layouts). Nice use of the MDF...I noticed at The Home Depot a 4x8 sheet is actually over sized at 97". Very economical. Quickly I noticed that I'll have to increase the side panel from 3'2" to suit the depth of the monitor (19.5"Hx19.5"Wx19.5"D). I'm guessing 3"to 4" inches will do. The width seems fine inside with .5" to spare either side. :D
Do you remember what length of T-Molding you ordered? I guessed at around 48'. I added a 10% cutting allowance.
I'll continue to plan ahead as I think of things.
Thanks again...
