My WIP arcade.....
(1/2) > >>
Aceldamor:
Here is my arcade...it's a WIP. I currently live in an apt. Moving into a house in late Aug....I'll finish it when I get a garage.  :D

I can't complain for a first attempt, especially since I built the whole thing on my patio  ;D

It's a dupe of LuSiD's with a modified cp box.  Seeing the incredible work that people have done here, i'm almost embarassed posting my arcade.  :-[

I'm half tempted to ditch this shell for a UA2 modded for my monitor with a rotating cp.

The CP as you can see is a 2p cp with 7 buttons each with 2 joysticks for games like total carnage, Smash TV, Cloak and Dagger, Black Widow, ect.  The joysticks are swappable for modded PC Raider Sticks which plug in via a headphone jack.  (Thanks to Mame GTX for sharing the knoweledge)Or you can leave the sticks out to comfortably reach the LS-30s. The 2 holes above the joysticks are for SNK LS-30's.  I'm still playin with the big area (where the keyboard is) for some kind of mount for a Star Wars type of Yoke. I have a WICO 3" trackball that I still have to mount.

I am actually looking for some opinions on my cp layout Please don't beat me up  :)

The monitor is a WG D9200 27".  I've been playin' around with Dragon King to use as a FE.  

I don't want to bog down with pics, so I'll post a link to the online photo album...

Wow....35 views and no replies....guess no one likes :'(
PkingRoch:
What's not to like, you have a WG in there!

Seriously, once you finish it up, I'm sure everyone will rave about it.

Looks like you went the 2 2x4's route for mounting your monitor, care to post some additional pictures on that site on the monitor mount?  I'm approaching that point on mine (web site isn't active yet) and I love seeing other people's ideas on how to mount that thing so I can steel from them!
Frostillicus:
Yeah it looks good so far - nice choice of monitor :)  the D9200 does rock.

Well, I really kinda half-assed the monitor shelf. LuSiD's plans just have a monitor shelf.  All I did was make a frame to support the shelf, placed the monitor on the shelf, then secured it across the top with another 2x4.  I'll take pics of it when I get home from work and post to the same online photo album.

Thanks to everyone else for the comments, appreciate it.
