Fantastic work, how about the custom UI skin, did waveryder create that too or did you create the skin from his graphics? You should be extremely proud of this cab!

Hi and thank you all.

As for the maximus arcade skin, waveryder send me some png files of my logo and sideart i could play with.

I would have never been able to build this without this forum, but then again, i also would not build one i think without this forum :)

Yeah, imagine that!

Franco, Polaris and Wave will give testament to the ---Cleveland steamer--- weather we are having here! And I have no garage! But my exams finish in 2 weeks and I have a week + 2 weekends off from the 5th December! I think I will be constructing a large tent in my garden to get this thing rolling!

Here is the update on the tinted plexi mount.

Its mounted with the same holders i used for the marquee and just added 2 L brackets on the sides.



As you can see the holder is flush with the control panel. I am very happy with that, i thought it would still show a gap.



Here is another shot of the front control panel.

- 2 x usb
- volume knob
- bass knob
- headphone jack
- Plunger button (on the right)
- infra red eye for the tv (not visible on the picture)

Am I curious does the TV turn on with the cab? Does it remember when it was last tuned in? I don't know if you mentioned it before. What did you use for the USB ports? Great job, btw. 

Hi, on top of the cab there is a button with a 4 wire connection. 2 sets can be connected. 1 set is connected to the power button on the mainboard of the pc. The other set is connected to the next channel button on the tv front panel. You can see the red wires going from the tv next channel button.

So when i press the button on top of the cab, the pc turns on. the tv turns on to a normal tv channel. but the SCART cable to the tv has a detection connected that when it detects voltage to a SCART pin it goes to AV1 with RGB.

Nice thing from this is that the tv needs a little time to warm the tube up and then gives a display. by then it went to AV1 and the pc has passed the BIOS screen. and i get a nice black windows start screen.

Ill post a startup video on youtube.

Thanks for answering my questions before. How tall is your cabinet? What height is the control panel? Do you find the controls to be the right height? Thanks for the info.  ;D

Im simply amazed. That is one of, if not THE most perfect cabs Ive ever seen. If thats your first attempt.....just wow.

I cant wait to see the videos of it in action. You more of a SuperSFII, SFAlpha, or SF3 kinda guy?
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.

What do you do to be a candidate?

Have done some little changes to my cab

- Wifi connection was dreadfull, only 11Mbit or less with the receiver only 5 meters away. I tried an antenna extension cable but this did not improve much. I removed the card and now its powered by a 200Mbit network adapter through powercord.



Much better, i get 5MB per second now.

The adapter in inside the cab. so still 1 power cord for all  ;D

- Did a nice tv power mod, the pc and tv turn on with 1 button and when i press it again the tv and pc shut down (tv goes back into standby)

No need for a remote :)

ill post a video soon (before Xmas ;)

Powerline Ethernet adapters are awesome; I've been using them for years now and they work great.

I have to say, again, the art on this thing is incredible - you did a great job!

Put a video on YouTube of this baby in action!!

Hello all!

And thanks for all the compliments ! :applaud:

Goedeavond to you too Akuma !

I forgot to make a movie of it in action. but i didn't hide windows completely yet. And that's not so nice to see :)

HairyDVD : I didn't put it on the cab yet. but i will test it if it looks good and then make the movie.

I am busy building something else on paper now :) Plans are almost done and i can commence working on it.

thank, i will be putting it in my shop ;) Then i can make it a company investment  :angel:

i have bought these clamps to hold it. i think its fine



i can adjust the strength/length

and i will intergrate the new sound system


I am looking for a better way to connect my cp to my cab and saw that you used this clamps. What I can't figure out is how you remove your cp when it is attached to the cab. It looks like you need to reach the handles to flip them up. How are you accessing them?

Exellent cabinet! Very inspiring!

I have a question. When you screwed the panels together did you countersink the holes or just screw in? What im getting to is do you notice the screws through the laminate?

yes they are terrible ;) they are just button bashers mostly  ;D

the screws are screwend from the inside out
the ones on the side before i applied laminate are screwed until they are flush with the wood so you don't see them

Seems like someone at mediamarkt also likes my cab.

press "DE PRIJZEN"

 :afro:

Its my cab for sure, i dont have anything to do with them. I think the creator of the special just used google images to get a street fighter arcade picture..
