soldered two wires to the Tv pcb board on and off button to a external button on the top side of the Cab. I did the same for the Dell Pc it did not have the regular wires for the mothere board that othe pc have this one dell had s pcb board with a similar in and off switch that had to be silderrd as well. Had to have two separate on and off buttons due to the fact for some reson when I link the wires to one individual button the tv keeps going from channel 3 to video randomly on it's own at first I tough someone was messing with me with the remote but then I ulinked the pc and tv and the problem went away.

I hate this part

Lets take a look

Here is the rest of the guts just need to organize the wires with some zip ties

Got it programed with hypespin and instantshell to only function as a dedicated MAME CAB. The only issue I have after I shelled the PC while my intro video to Hyperspin a found new hardware wizard pops up for the Ipac 2 and I have to select enter 3 times if i select cancel instead of continue my Ipac wont function. But that's no problem I will just continue to select continue with the enter button that was installed on the CP.

Here is the ghetto lighting set up I went with the aluminum foil paper for the back and top to help project the lighting.

That little LED strip lights up like the 4th of July.

nice mame conversion. I'm always a sucker for black on black color schemes.

I like the layout, kind of bulky and different. Very functional to boot IMO. Black is always a great color for a cab as it hides so many imperfections. Good re-work man!
