Sosetsuken:
Its the Perspex for the screen overlay. Its matt black, but will be mount with the painted side facing in, to give the front a nice glossy screen finish.
Ond:
Very tidy work! I will be doing exactly the same thing with perspex cover for my unit - painted side facing in. Panels are all nicely joined, look forward to your next progress.
SNAAKE:
how did you make the bezel? I see random "bevel" or something ???
nice cabinet
Sosetsuken:
Little more progress,
She's all primed up ready for painting. I Bought 4lt's of Enamel White Semi Gloss paint for this badboy, i've still gotta sand the primer with 240 before I apply first coat of enamel :-\
And look what was delivered, and on my birthday too (Apr 6)! Its a beauty!
I needed a way to be able to connect the control panel to my PC/Xbox 360 and be able to remove it quite easily. I was going to buy some arcade connecters but after all my reasearching I finally decided to DIY!;
Basically a newstyle Xbox 360 pad, using the TP Connections on the back instead of soldering on the front, SOOOOOO much easier! I went a bit overboard with hotglue :laugh2:. I used a plastic housing I bought about 6 months ago from Dick Smiths, which is perfect for this. I still have to buy the 2nd 360 pad next friday. Basically its;
360 Pad -> Male LPT1/25pin -> into >> Female LPT1/25pin -> Astro City CP.;
I still haven't wired up the 2nd side. And i had to make a external line for the Credit Button that will eventually be a coin door.
Heres the mapping if anyones interested;
Thanks Guys! I'll post some more pics when i've done more :D
SNAAKE: What do you mean by Bezel/Bevel?
Gatsu:
