Vault 17 - 1.9.08 - CPO Applied
Akuma:
That's a CPO - COOL PANEL OVERLAY!!! I really DIG this style, giving a good idea of the overall style of your cab. AWSOME! Wouldn't it be cool, if they'd make black n' yellow t-molding? This half pealed sticker is another cool touch!

Started assembly on the cabinet this morning - got t-molding installed on two of the lower pieces, then realized that my parts package from mameroom was completley lacking the screws for the cam-lock system, effectiveliy halting cabinet construction until they're back from the holiday. Not too much of an issue, except that now I've got cabinet panels leaning up against every wall in the house until I can get them. xD
Given the stoppage on that front, I did a bit more work on the CPO - I have a similar marquee in the works too - but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep or scrap it. I definately like the way the CPO is progressing though. I really like the haphazard (read crooked/misaligned) player "plates", just need to figure out what to do in the trackball area - possibly more yellow hazard lines - and if I want any sort of indicators around the few admin/coin buttons that'll be going up top.
Sir Auros:
Seriously, I'm the only person here that gets his theme? I could've told you what it was based on his avatar and the name of the project.
Right, I forget that a ton of people here don't play games past 1986, and wouldn't be familiar with Fallout. ;)

Spoke with Scott from mameroom this afternoon, he indicated they were having some email issues, and he'd be sure to get the cam-lock screws out in the mail thursday, so hopefully assembly can resume soon.
Mamemarquee's are back from their holiday break as well, so I finalized my CPO and Marquee designs and got them sent off today - I fully expect some delays based on orders that might need filled from the holidays, so I'll probably be sitting on my hands for a bit. Not a huge deal, I've hit a productivity slump myself with the realization that I'll be going back to work next week *whimper*.
Final CPanel:
Basically the hazard lines will border about an inch or two around the cpanel - I left enough in the lower corners on the actual print to have enough extra that if I do add a trackball, I'll have spare tap to cover the plate... or to use for some other nefarious purpose.
Final Marquee:
I'd love to do some side art at some point, but I think it can wait... in the meantime I am considering some yellow t-molding for the UAII upper half...
Edit Forgot to mention that the pair of Ziotek Smart Strips I ordered arrived today as well - haven't had a chance to put them through their paces yet, but the plan is one for the cabinet, and another for general energy conservation in the entertainment center.
Anyway, until next time...

FYI, those speakers are total ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. We got them at work and everyones ended up in the junk room.
