Hey guys, Im about to build my DC:CP, and was just wondering how some of you guys did yours. Im thinking about cutting out a square in the top middle of my CP for the dreamcast to stick up through, so the top is flush with the CP. Then I can open and close it right there on the CP. Where do you guys mount your DC so you can get to it easily?

I have never mounted a console in one before, but I would probably screw some sort of shelf inside, so you could reach through the coin door. If your control panel is big enough, you could put it inside the CP box. You would have to vent it somehow if you did that though.

It fits nicely on top of the coinbox behind the coindoor. To change discs, you simply open the coindoor and pop a new one in.

heh, only problem is, I dont have a coindoor, and the front of my cab doesnt open. So I figured I would mount it right inside the CP so I can just pop it open right there. I also think it might look pretty cool. Ill paint it black to match the CP, and you get the nifty light too.
