These pics came off my crappy treo camera phone. I'll try and post some better ones soon.
Shieldwolf's STARCADE: The Ultimate Multi Game System is up and kicking. Inspired by GXSRmoviestar, the Last Starfighter and the need to have the ultimate bemani/control silly cabinet, I have tried to build a party friendly system.
First off, a big shout to Eric and Craig Pennington, Denis Nickoleff and the rest of the byoac for their help.
Thanks everyone for putting up with my inane rambles and offering help when possible (This doesn't mean I'm done asking noob questions).
I still have a to-do list.
1. Wire up my DC controls
2. Light up my coin door and track ball
3. Find some bright lights that will flash colors with the beat of music

Here's a pic of the cab, I have a great marquee, but the guys at Kinkos are idiots ( yeah I know you know that already) and screwed up the print of my marquee.

That big green dot on the side was something I found at a 7/11.

Nice looking cab. Man, those lighted trackballs look so good. Interesting place to mount your speakers. I've personally never seen them mounted there on any other cab. Good job.
-
Well I didn't want the two extra speakers to go to waste and I figured I alread had the two up top...
The nice thing about where I placed them is that they don't interfere with game play and when you're playing a game like ddr, or guitar freaks you get great full sounding music

Big bowl of F to you pal.
BTW this whole site is about being a nerd.
Nice to see you edited your post so that mine wouldn't make sense. Get a sense of humor man. Had I known you'd have the reaction of little girl I wouldn't have posted it. BTW, good lookin' CP.
