"Mame Mania" - First Mame Cab - Finally Getting there! Lots of pics
acevedor2:
Well, wiring is finally done! Now let's hope I didn't screw it up. Hopefully not. I am setting the pc up tonight/tomorrow so I anticipate being able to test it sometime Monday or Tuesday.
I figure I will start the actual cab in the next week or two. Wish I had the time to work on it full time!

Nice! Looks good.
Any reason you chose quick connects instead of solder?
acevedor2:
Thanks. Time is really the reason for the quick connects. I found it much quicker to crimp and go then to flux and solder each connection. I ended up having to solder one because the joy is so close to the inside of the CP box that the quick connect hit the box and wouldn' let the lid close. I can't wait to fire it up and try it out. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I used my multimeter to make sure the connections were good so hopefully I will be in good shape when I plug it in. It is funny because it will take up three USB ports - 1 for the trackball, 1 for the IPAC4, and one for the Tornado twister. Good thing I have 6 slots in the PC. :)
NiteWalker:
I prefer quick disconnects too. If you get the correct size, they will fit very tightly and not slip off. The reason I like them is for ease of part replacements.
acevedor2:
Well, it's true what they say. Build the cabinet first! It's the only way to be sure you actually finish it. ;D
I finished the control panel a year ago, and between work and other projects, I never got around to finishing the cabinet. So I finally decided since the weather was so nice, I would get my butt in gear and get working on it. Here are the latest pics. This thing is gynormous! I also changed my idea of the monitor. I am using a 26" LCD instead. It is pretty big.
