Glad you took the X-Arcade away and made your own CP.
Where did you get your marquee?
What is the spec of your PC inside?
You have done a nice job so far. :cheers:

Thank you! I'm using the guts out of my X-arcade until me an I-Pac :D I also replaced the left side with a blue Happ competition joystick and 6 colored Happ buttons (will take more pictures later)I got had the Marquee printed from Mamemarquees.com of course. But I'm going to have it replaced as it made for an older project that got tore down. The specs of the PC are an AM2 AMD Athlon X2 overclocked to 2.40ghz 1gb of ram (though the crappy onboard video eats up some ram :( ) And a CRT monitor I think it's a 17" I'd love to have an Arcade monitor but I can't afford one :(

this is going to be a great cab to keep fiddling with and improving. youve made a start with the control panel. maybe later you could look at getting another perspex screen. yours looks like its seen better days. you could try your hand at painting the cab. or some vinyl graphics, although i hear that can be expensive.
what are the specs? type of monitor, pc etc?

Thanks danny_galaga! I keep doing things to it every now and then so I think it will turn out pretty good! I agree the smoke glass has seen better days :laugh2: I'll end up replacing that in the future as well. I actually painted the cab glossy black but will do one last coat once I get some side art for it sorry nullb0y I just saw your post I'll definitely look into re-doing the cp later on thanks for the tips! :)

I'm very impressed you managed to get the X Arcade transferred to the cab. :notworthy:
I really do not see the point for an Ipac, if only to simplify the wiring. You can get a Keywiz from Randy that will still do the job nicely.
Any room for a spinner?
Yep, looking very nice so far! :applaud:

Thanks! yea I was pretty impressed myself afterwards. Though I have to work on getting right joystick working I think some of the wires arn't hooked up correctly or plugged in all the way. One reason I was thinking of an I-Pac is as you said to simplify the wiring the keywiz though looks great too and is cheaper. About the spinner yep looks like I might be able to fit one in the middle ;)

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated this in awhile I've done a lot of work and changes to the cabinet. Here it is in it's current state. Also it stills needs a lot of work around the speaker/marquee area.
Gatsu:
oh tell me I do not see a MK marquee tacked up on the wall.....I'd have slapped that on the cab for the marquee.
Lookin good man. I cant say I've got a playable cab in my place yet. lol
