Cab Resto on a Shoestring Budget

<< < (2/2)

jWin:
Nice job!

I wired an arcade button to my motherboard as well, since they both use just 2 wires, splice and connect a former power on motherboard header.

I use to have my motherboard bolted to the side of my arcade as well but the cards kept coming loose over time without being screwed down to anything.

arcadefever:
Low budget maybe but nice result  :cheers: very nice cab, clean job in the inside  :applaud:

theburge:
Thanks for the kind words. :)

TelcoLou:  As for the power button... I honestly haven't messed with it very much.  I know the one picture shows the power cord running to the front of the cab, but that was just for testing and it is now just hanging out until I figure out what I'm going to do.  Currently I have everything plugged into a powerstrip that I can easily reach to flip the switch and my BIOS is then set to power up the computer on a button press.  It works well enough so I may keep it like that.

jWin:  I also really like the mobo bolted on the side because it looks nice and frees up a lot of room.  To get around the cards coming loose I made a little "T" bracket out of scrap wood and put screws through the wood right into the U slot on the tabs of the cards.  It works just like the pc case is holding it together.
