I'm still looking for ideas on what to do with my steering wheel when I'm not using it... Can't put it up top, though. If you've seent he pictures of my cabinet floating around recently you would see why it wouldn't fit my particular cabinet. I've been trying to find ways to swing it into position... |

So are you going to have a light up marquee or is it just going to be a door? Gary |

Not sure on the marquee yet. The cabinet is going to be non-conventional finish (oak stained) to match the rest of the room it's going in. If I do decide to do a full marquee and back light it, I'm thinking along the lines of either EL sheets (electro luminescent sheets...think indiglo) under the marquee or edge lighting plexi with LED's over the marquee. We'll see how it goes in when I get to that part. I know it's not going to be "authentic" arcade cabinet style, but I'm designing around the room and for functionality :D |

I think it's interesting how some people can have similar ideas when they're never even talked before about it. You mounted your CP VERY similar to mine. Is your removeable? Just wanna make sure you can fit it out the door some day. |

haha, it's gotta fit IN the door first :) The overall cabinet width is 29" (26 1/2" interior dimension) so it should fit nicely through any standard 30" door opening. The control panel is 36" width and will be removable by the time I'm done. It's hinged off the monitor shelf at the moment so that I can get all the angles and cut sizes for the cp sides...once that's done I'll redo the hinge to the cp box itself and have it secure with quick release latches on the back side (inside the cabinet) I want to be able to swap it out with an empty cp box for my steering wheel and be upgradable down the line. |
