Project Name : I-Macc's Now Canned C-Macc's 2 Is new project
Maker - Mayhem
Oh well time to start a new project log for a new system im working on. This one will be a lot slower than my Project C-Macc's as the build is still under development (if you can call it that). The frame for this System I-Mac's is being made from a fresh. There is no pre bought frame being used and it is being fabricated locally by DGF fabrications. I'm all so having custom side panels made out of wood and once the frame is back and to spec these will be made and added as well.
So what is I-Mac's
I-Mac's mean's Integrated Multi Arcade Computer Console System. The idea is to do a complete new Build of a arcade system making it possible to house any console or PC. But only 1 system can be used at a time. All So I-Mac's is being built so it can be flat packed and retailed off. The proto type that we've been working on will be a full system based around a Power full PC. More will become apparent as we move along.
I-Mac's will be a completely different look to C-Macc's and will fit in any modern home or office or venue and will have the ability to hold any screen from a 19" up to a 52" plasma or LCD. The control panel will be 4 player compatible but with a 2 player option as well. Again the control panel will be customised and again different from any thing on the market right at this moment in time.
Every thing i have learnt from C-Macc's is being ported across to I-Mac's with some subtle difference in the way it works.
Ill post up photo's of the build process as i go along but this may not be for a few weeks until im happy with the frame work and the CP (control Panel).
Ill post details of each section as i work on it but for now this is just my teaser post to start you off.
All so im after sponsorship for this Proto Type to help towards the build costs and if any one knows how i go about this let me know in this thread.
Here are some early concept drawings to start off with....
Pics Remove because ran out of bandwidth

Images now showing.
The frame is being made out of 1" square steel and has 2mm tickness. So its going to be quite heavy but will take the weight of a 50" plasma screen easly (we hope lol)
mayhem:
Managed to figure out a little how to work google sketch, need the cp to slope but haven't figured out how to taper in this program just yet. But again this will give a better idea of my plans.

The box at the bottom will have a see through Plexi glass and the components will all be seated in there. the Small raised section on the cp is a 7" touch screen system for Jukebox mode and also other things as well.
Martijn:
Looks high tech :)
Little to modern to me, i like the classic cabs more.
Where will you put the coin slot mech ???
mayhem:
hehe now thats some thing i have been working on.
question: were do u put the coins ?
answer : that will become apprent once the system is being built. Lets just say the touch sceen isnt there for no reason.
