I think I'm finished with my first CPO! Looking for suggestions/opinions...

[mingaling]

Tried posting this several times and I kept getting errors when attaching a .jpg so off to photobucket for this one heh.  I am open to suggestions and opinions on this one.  It is my first CPO and the first time I have used photoshop so .  Between teaching myself how to use Photoshop and Autocad for this project I am sure I have missed a few details that could make this CPO even better.  The CP is roughly 32 x 19 and I plan on using Electric Ice buttons and an Electric Ice-T trackball and they will have an orange hue.  Ready to start woodworking when I find the time and will post my project when I can.  Thanks for the input!!

Cheers

nice work dude ! looks pretty cool

but why not go for the novagem rgb buttons these are already pre assembled and easy to install
dont forget you need a led-wiz to light up your buttons and remember every button uses 3 ports on the led wiz if you want rgb instead of just one color

but nice work !

Yah it was a toss up on those 2 buttons but I wanted to go with the Micro-Leaf switches so I would still have to assemble them.  I am considering using a 1/8 plexi for the CP so that I will not have to affix the artwork.  It is my hope that I will be able to change themes when I feel like a new look for the cab.  I do want side artwork though so I am mulling over my options.

Yeah so true but you also need to solder the rgb boards and wires with the electric ice buttons you dont have to with the novagems which you can also use leaf switches for, may i ask why leaf?

After owning a X-Arcade 2 player for years and owning my own Tron, EDOT (700lb arcade machines should never have been invented!), and Space Invaders...  Just want something different feeling.  Less to no noise and the smoother feel of the buttons seems appealing to me ATM.

What is going directly in front of the trackball a button or spinner?
If it's a spinner, off set it to the lt or rt, trust me, I can't tell you how much I regret putting my spinner in the way of a long Golden Tee drive shot, smashed my fingers several times already.

You know... never thought about that lol.  Maybe my problem is I have never really played Golden Tee but have seen it played a few times at the arcade.  Lol might have to do something about that .  Thanks
