Easy coin door lighting solution
whatzcrackn:
what did you search for under ebay search?
Quarterhorse:
Thank you for the compliments. More pics to come -- I'll get some up tonight with it lit up.
The wood is birch plywood. Stain was minwax red mahogany (2 coats) followed by 2 coats of polyurethane. It really looks nice.
The LED lights light it up pretty well IMO. First glance you think real arcade coin slot. That's what I was looking for. I tried to post a link on here but not sure how to do it to the actual products on ebay. Do a search under "usb led swivels". Now that I am at the office I can't access eBay on our system (THEY don't want us shopping). There are several usb-powered led lights, but these were the only ones that came with a clip that will directly attach to the coin door. Anybody want to throw up a link? Cost was great too -- I got both delivered for under $10.
Quarterhorse:
I am also using a fan that is usb-powered to cool the case. It is extremely quiet and obviously an easy install. Using a USB hub inside I'll have all this stuff neatly wired to it and almost have a "plug and play" laptop ready to go in the cabinet.

Here are some pics of the lights in action and more of the cabinet. I'll post the final cab when complete (waiting on a usb cable from ultimarc and then attach the control panels). Somehow, the pics barely show the brightness -- I think they could be better and brighter but the effect works overall.
