Looks great.  Is that silver T-molding you used? 

I bought some Luminglass plates as well to put on my jukebox cabinet as well as a 18" touchscreen.  I have not found the time to start it, but hopefully in the near future my project will get moving in the right direction.  Just to darn busy lately.

I would love to see more pictures.  What are the circles mounted on the sides?  Are the speakers on the front all connected to the PC speaker's port?  What does the little door do on the left side?

Lets see some more pics of the inside, sides, etc.... 

I am going on vacation tomorrow, so I will check this thread when I return.  Good work.

Oh yeah .... are you going to submit your Jukebox to the BYOAC forum Examples page?

Looks great.  I have been meaning to build a jukebox for some time now, but can't decide on a design.

Yes, please edit your post to use normal text and not the awful capslock text, since are very hard to read (and should all of case avoid to use in a forum).

It a very nice and hearvy, but not very stable (I guess it used to mount to the wall, hince it not a problem there).

not mounted it yet its not really that heavy i can carry it comfortable its just front end heavy on the floor it just wants to fall forward .i will try and weigh it at work and let you know what the actual weight is. i have got just to sort the wires out and tidy the inside up and then it can be mounted . just added speaker covers today . looking at the pics it seems bulkier than it actually is . its 16"wide by 16"deep  by 34" tall.

I see you are running PC Jukebox, how did you get the song information to display on your BETABRITE (Assuming that's what it does)

Do you mean the red sign? its not connected to the computer in anyway it would be great if i could get it to display song info. i will probably not attach it to the jukebox when i hang it on the wall it was just something i was playing around with. i was thinking of useing a antec vfd display on my next build i dont think there are many options out there for displaying info externally from the monitor (unless anyone knows different?) i might even consider stripping this one down and starting again with a different style cabinet probably floor standing. The software indeed is pc jukebox this is the only software i have ever used but it can sometimes play up in credit mode so if anyone can reccomend good software with stable credit mode and be able to handle 40.000+ songs i would be happy to try it.

nice, can you list out your technical specs, I'm always curious to know what type of hardware people are using.

Also, are you afraid that the bass from the speakers might damage your hard drive?

What type of clips did you use to mount the Luminglas plate?

What type of clips did you use to mount the Luminglas plate?

The clips came off a bus at work same as the front chrome around the plate that came off the surround off a bus headlight you could use anything even wood with a routered edge or any metal bent to shape.

Very nice job, looks like it will be a crowd pleaser!

post some pictures when you get it fired up and all of the lights going (I'm assuming that a laser disc on the front(?).
what is the equipment on the inside panel?  (looks impressive)
So you just installed a micro case? Looks like it makes the front panel easier to work with.

The chrome looks good on there too.  Very professional looking.
