Please give me some project ideas...
« on: July 12, 2009, 09:36:38 pm »
Hi Everyone,

I've already built a mspac style upright cab with a vertical 21" CRT, so this time I'm thinking of doing something on a smaller scale.

I've got a 15" LCD panel without the shell and a Intel Atom 330 Mini-ITX board, notebook hard drive, and a few more parts laying around.  I would like to make a "mini" project of some type.  I really liked the look of those computer tower's turned authentic Donkey Kong, but I don't see a way to fit my LCD in something like that.  I could make a bartop, but I really don't have a bartop to put it on.  I pondered making a small box that encompasses the monitor and allows you to set it so it could be horizontal or vertical, that may be an idea.

Please post any projects you've done or seen that might fit this criteria.

I really want to give it some great artwork, but I am not familiar with the best places to get the art, have it printed, etc.  Good looking, long lasting artwork that sticks on would be ideal, but again, I don't know where to look for this.

Thanks for any ideas you might have!! :)

Alan

Pick a cab you like and make an 80% replica.  The 15" monitor will be perfect for something like that.
