May be it's just me as until very recently I didn't even know what the whole Steam Punk stuff was, but I think now that I some what understand it this dude FAILED by not having Boogie Wings playing in the pics. Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sir Headless VII:
I think it looks awesome. For those of you getting on him for using an x-arcade, first if you didn't already know what an x-arcade looked like you wouldn't be able to tell that thats what he did, second the wiring of the CP when you are planing stands out as what seems to be the most difficult and technical part of the build (especially when you have design experience which he clearly does). Of course when you look into it wiring the CP is actually not particularly difficult but it seems that way to someone who has never done it.

It's an beautiful piece of work except that X-arcade. :dizzy:
I'm just puzzled. he wrote:

Yet he knew enough to wire the switch in the book and include a separate circuit for the lights. ???

Yeah, that doesn't makes sense, especially since the X-Arcade comes already wired. All he would have to do is remove the joysticks and buttons from the X-Arcade, drill holes in the CP of his machine, and drop the whole kit and caboodle in there.

Same here. I do the bare minimum, but I'll wire CPs all day.
