I just took a look at the construction pics. Nice job! You have the same model Kenwood that I do! My remote sensor on mine is shot, but everything else works perfectly. I may have to buy a new receiver and use the Kenwood on a jukebox! :laugh2:
I have questions about the monitors: What's plugged into where and what video card did you use? Is the monitor that's on top the secondary monitor in a dual monitor setup? Is the touchscreen the primary monitor? Are they both plugged into DVI inputs, or is there an adapter for one of the inputs?
Again, great job! I'm floored!

Awesome job! :applaud:
And Stevie Ray is awesome too! I was fortunate to see him live once - it was his last show.

The 18" LCD flat touchscreen monitor is the primary monitor and the 17" Dell LCD Flat panel monitor is the secondary monitor in the dual monitor setup.
Not real sure what type of video card I have in there since I got a cheap one from Ebay, although I know it has one SVGA and one DVI output port. I connected a DVI->SVGA converter connector on the DVI port so I could connect the secondary monitor (VGA) to it.
As for the Kenwood receiver ..... I picked that up locally from a guy for $40 who was upgrading all his stuff to be HD. I thought I got a great deal for that receiver. Anyway, I do not think my remote control works for it either ..... it has been a while so I should make sure the batteries are good, but I seem to remember it did not work. No big deal since I adjust the volume of the cabinet via my jukebox software anyway.
I connected a splitter in the computer's audio jack. One connection goes to the FM transmitter hardware I bought so the sound from the computer can be heard on the radio. The other connection is again split into RCA (red/white) stereo jacks which connect to the receiver. The speakers are obviously connected to the receiver. I am only using two sets of speakers. One set is referred to "A" and the other set is the "B" on the receiver. I simply activate "A" and "B" speakers sets at the same time to get sound from each of them.
I also have four switches on top of the cabinet (they are black so then blend in perfectly. Here are what the switches do:
1) Turn on/off computer. This button is on the opposite side from the others so I do not press it by accident :P
2) Turn on/off the receiver, primary monitor and secondary monitor. Since the computer never gets turned off at night, I use this switch to give the monitors and receiver a break when the jukebox is not in use.
3) Turn on/off the three Luminglas disks
4) Turn on/off the "UncleT's Jukebox" marquee LED lights.
Note: The side LED lights which are seen through the slits are not "turned off" via a switch but rather they turn themselves off when no music is playing on the computer so no need for a special switch for them. They are controlled via the Lumin Audio software.
