weird cabinet PC case thingy
« on: August 29, 2006, 07:10:44 pm »
I followed a link that was posted over in the MAMEWorld MAME Chat board a while back to this site...

http://www.xiongyegame.com/en/

They have a few interesting products...




I really like this computer mounting frame/chassis thing but I wish they had one sized to fit a full ATX motherboard too.


How much would it cost me to get something like that made?



This last product is just wacky but the interesting idea here is that there's an upper layer using the ATX mounting hole pattern with brass spacer columns.  Check out the JAMMA connector too...



...I don't know what exactly to do with that idea yet, but it has me thinking.

These are not weird at all..... Most modern arcade machines run on PC based systems. They mostly use mounting methods like these, because there's very little point in casing up the boards in a PC case, when you effectively already have a huge wooden case round them anyway.

You could always fabricate one starting with a cheap ATX case, a dremel, some cutting wheels, drill, some screws, and some ice cold chilled beer.

I built a "custom" power supply, HD, and CDrom mounting rig for someone on this board way back when using the same method and an old AT case that was collecting dust in the garage.
