Looking good :)
Well, I saw the original "blueprints" and still, it came as a surprise to see it's size.. ;)
Can't wait to see this one finished :cheers:
phines:
Hinged back door is on now along with some internal cooling fans. I also have 2 external USB ports, headphones, and power button on the back. It's a little rough, but it's on the back, so you don't see it. It also has a lock so the back doesn't come flying open when I'm moving it.
I also put some more red t-molding on. Here is a picture of me playing X-men Vs. Street Fighter.
To finish before this weekend:
I need to trim some plexiglass for the marquee and the monitor cover. Install the last piece of red t-molding on the front of the control panel.
To do later:
Put some sort of volume control on the outside... not difficult, just a little wiring.
This thing is a blast to play!
If anyone wants my plans, let me know, I have either ACAD drawings or converted jpg.
phines:
Installed the marquee, not the best quality, but it was a free print. Also put the plexiglass over the monitor screen.
Also some pics of the rats nest under the control panel. It's really not that bad, just long cords bundled up.
I can see why people say that bartops are harder... much more stuff to cram in a little space. Plus a lot of the details and woodworking are smaller scale, and much more difficult.
I screwed all the plexglass down, which isn't the best way to do it, but it doesn't look that bad. I'll paint the heads of the screws matching the background color later.
Quick story: My neighbor saw this and asked my wife where I bought it, she wouldn't believe my wife that I made it. I'm new to this forum and hobby, and I'm amazed by the quality and ingenuity I see! I can't wait until I get a bigger place so I can build a 4 player upright!

Very nice looking cab! I really like that CP :)

You know what would look good - some kickplate art.
