Wooden Candy/Astro City **Updated 16JUN10 [99% Complete]**
Gatsu:
Just a word of warning....it can get to be a tough build. Especially the control panel if you're not sure how you wanna make those angled cuts, and getting a tv to fit the plans.
I'd say of course if you love the vewlix and can't afford the real deal...build it. But its not the easiest build. As cool as its turning out, I'll admit that a few times while building that I wished I had of stuck with a simpler Lindbergh design....but then I see the real vewlix and the fire is rekindled.
Finish this cab, take a break for a while and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Ummon:
Neat idea....although I think you should've rounded out the CP, overall, and bevel-routed all the edges. Then it wouldn't look so blocky. By the way, that monitor looked to have BNC input, in which case no need to do a scart hack.
Sosetsuken:
Nah no BNC, those are monitor adjustments. The cab looks less 'blocky' in real life, it's about the right height too with extra room in the bottom of the control panel for extra things ;)
Gatsu:
Definitely a sexy cab for sure. I think though after Im done with my build I'll go the lazy route and buy an astro.
after the vewlix....I wanna take a break from wood working until the winter moves in again. Its too damn hot here in the South Carolina to do anything fun outside right now. Which is the only reason my cab isn't done yet. I hate the heat.
Sosetsuken:
Heyas,
Just replaced the Laptop + X360 with a;
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 2.00 Ghz (Overclock @ 3.0ghz)
Asus P5K Pro
ATi Radeon 4650 OC 512Mb
4GB DDR2 800 Ram
WD 320GB Sata Hdd
SF4 plays well from my new Frontend, which is the Amazing hyperspin-fe.com. Seriously BBB, the creator deserves some sort of medal for HyperSpin as it is amazing(Go on, donate like I did. He is a very talented and humble guy!).
Still saving for the Marquee and sideart, but the Hours myself and friends have spent playing this have payed for it tenfold in my eyes. I've got 2 NES, SNES, N64 (4 pads), SMS, SMD and Saturn USB Pads hooked up as well (Get a quality DC powered USB Hub). For that mentioned games, nothing can beat people going from 2 player Final Fight Arcade (With people in a queue to play!) to some serious Mario Kart 64 4-player on the N64 emulator with reproduced n64 USB pads!!
I'll post some pics when it changes appearance and also when I can get the whole thing 99% :)
Cheers all!
