Emdec-01 : Pixel Assault (Project)
Organic Jerk:
And we actually made some progress....wow.
So the parts that have been sitting in the basement that still needs remodeling have finally started to come together.
Since the original plans, I've decided to scrap the keyboard tray (with a new mindset for some consolidation)
This has also allowed me to remove the PS controller ports and USB hub from the CP and take it down to under it where the tray used to be.
I'm also going to be putting wood filler into mostly all of the holes I made on the sides of the CP box, leaving only caps on the two pinball buttons in case I ever get the desire to use them.
To call the base complete sans paint, laminate, and art (which I will start to do once we start basement remodeling), I have to:
Create the speaker grille piece and attach it.
Create the top and back covers and attach them, including the door that will open to the bottom section.
Attach the marquee light
Route the t-molding grooves
Attach latches for the CP box
Attach hinges for the CP box cover
plug any gaps and holes with wood filler
And I believe that's it....
Hopefully this cabinet can be called complete someday.
EDIT: What do you guys do to smooth out the look of the area between the monitor plexi and the CP?
This area specifically:
EDIT2: There are also a few new pics in the art thread:

Transition strips that you use in between carpet and hardwood flooring. Paint it black and cut to size.

Wow.. is that standard procedure? What are other options for that?
Pixelhugger:
Admin button bar maybe? With an underlay to excuse more use of your awesome graphics?
I actually used that transition material (in walnut hardwood) as the "t-molding" along the front edge of my CP. Worked well IMOHO. If painted black with a lightly textured spray paint I imagine it could work very well as a tranisition piece where you need it.

I think he said legacy so it should be this one http://legacy.newdoom.com/. Its funny you mentioned playing with just a keyboard since when I introduced my friends to Doom they complained about not being able to use the mouse. If I recall correctly you can't increase turn sensitivity right? That's why I like using the mouse in Zdaemon so I can get the quick turns in not to mention the ease of configuring the keys for strafing. Pushing shift for classic annoys me so much (like using the lame button combo for Wizard of wor in mame).
Looking at some of the features for Legacy I wish they had a 4 player split screen. Then I could stick it in a 4p cab (unless I get the xbox version or something).
