A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
Ryglore:
Awesome DV. Now when are you adding the fog machine? :cheers:
Epyx:
The static shots are great but the youtube really delivers justice to the lighting...looks amazing! :cheers:

....Another below decks shot, you can better see the led wiring. I wired the resistors inline right at the led, then wrapped them in heatshrink. Not sure if this is the best way to do it or not, but it keeps the resistors nice and tidy (and keeps the wiring at the LEDWiz neat as well).
No comments on my suboptimal wiring skills, Ond! ;)

Nothing but praise from me Doc, as Epyx says the video does justice to your efforts on those inserts. I’m glad to see you went with the tiny lights next to the buttons rather than the ring lit buttons, it just seems to fit the theme better IMO.

@Ryglore: Oh, I'm right there with ya. I've been doing some looking for something that might work, given the space constraints (and the fact that I don't want to be refilling the dang thing every 5 minutes)! But yeah, there'll likely be something. There's actually a little space behind those brand new "Boiler vents" for some added possibilities ;)
@Epyx. Thanks, yeah, the static shots don't really convey much for the flicker effect of those leds. It's really pretty nice looking esp with the translucent plastic in place to diffuse the light a little. Thanks!
@OND. Definitely, I'm digging the tiny lights more. They're all yellow (no RGB for this element, besides, you guys that wire up a CP in full RGB have got to be insane! :) . I think I ran about 250' of wire for JUST the single color led's I installed, and I didn't put in any LED's for the sticks themselves (really wanted to, to indicate 2-4-8 way stick but it was going to be too tricky to get the stick bases out, and putting the leds far enough out to miss the base would've looked stupid.)
Anyway, once I get the CP reinstalled, I hope to animate the leds with some interesting wipes and fades, and make a few vids of that. It'd be much more interesting than shots of the wires :)

Great Work. This project is another amazing example of attention to detail. The youtube video of the light in action sort of reminds me of the "Neural Neutralizer" light from Star Trek TOS "Dagger of the Mind." Ooops....My inner "Trekker Nerd" Just surfaced again....and after all that therapy too! ;)
