ivwshane:
Very nice!
I guess next time for my cab I'll have to go laminate:(

Shhh, don't tell anyone but I opened a tv ... AND I LIVED! ;D
The front panel buttons were broken so I needed to get to the power board. I was hoping the front bezel would come off but no luck. I had to take the entire rear housing off to get to to board. I rand the wires out the side and recased it so I can now get access to solder some wire extensions on the power button.

Be aware that that carpet is likely to generate static electricity. Don't place any bare electrical components directly on it.

syph007,
The cabinet looks great! Nice clean looking build.
I've got some catching up to do... ;)

Ok, the cabinet finally got to move indoors to my rec room. Used a dolly and it was no problem at all.
I mounted my power strip and pc and got them all set up with wires run etc. After a few failed attempts at getting my tv to respond correctly I gave up and decided I needed 2 on/off momentary buttons. I really only wanted to have a single power up switch, so what I did was take two momentary buttons and glue them together, then glue that to a Happ button, where the cherry switch normally goes. One turns on the pc, the other the tv.. works just fine!
And this is how my machine has been for the past couple days, since it turns on and my light gun works, my girlfriend and I have been playing alot of Zero Point! Once I got the gun calibrated right it is AWESOME. I was getting perfects on a few of the levels with no problem. The timing of the aimtrak coming out was just right for me to include this in my build.
Now I just need to get that control panel done... and the artwork and I'm in business!
Cheers!
