FunkyAndroid's portable arcade "Bloc-ade"

<< < (4/6) > >>

FunkyAndroid:
I'm starting to think about designing and having a CPO printed.  I'm not quite sure what material people have their CPOs made out of.  Can anybody tell me what it is and maybe link a site that does custom prints?

YoGaBaR:
Take a look at my woody and look at the cp. It is made from croian. The same corian that is used on countertops. I got my piece cut finished and holes drilled in it for $50.

FunkyAndroid:
Got a lot done since the last update.  I installed the computer last weekend and got everything installed.  It's up and fully functional though!  I also got the control panel all mapped out and cut yesterday and all the buttons are in.  I took pictures early this morning and I got the two buttons i decided to add (to make it a 7 button layout) right after I took the pictures, so they're not in them.  Up next is connecting the hinge to the control panel and attaching the joysticks.  Still unsure what to do w/ the control panel art, yours looks nice YoGa, but I'm looking for something a little more custom looking.  Maybe I'll get starting with the graphics after i get the buttons all wired up.
Pics are attached.  Enjoi

YoGaBaR:
That is looking nice. I like how you have enough room to put a TB in later. Whats the overall dimensions of the box?

FunkyAndroid:
Thanks YoGa, dimensions for the box are 36" wide, 15" deep, and about 14" tall at the back with a 5 degree slant to the front.  It's a beast!  It's easily 40 pounds.  Gunna need to put on some handles to make handling
TB's are expensive! I decided to keep a space for it in case I want to add one later when my budget can afford it.  I attached the hinge to the box and the CP, and got the joysticks mounted.  Didn't take pictures yet though, I'll probably put some up tomorrow.
