Just thought I would share what has been keeping me busy, here I have 4 cocktail machines running MaLa with
Mame
Visual Pinball
N64
Super Nintendo
NES
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis
Wincab Jukebox
INTEL CELERON D 2.8GHZ CPU &
INTEL D915GAG MOTHERBOARD
512MB RAM
80G sata HDD
17" CRT monitors
stereo speakers
ipac keyboard encoders
zippy joysticks
6 buttons a side + pause button on both sides
side 1 also has 2 flipper buttons for pinball on sides of CP
also usb ports in the front which are monitored by the jukebox for usb sticks with mp3s
All up they took me 1 1/2 weeks to complete, i will try and grab another camera as this was from my phone in a dark shed, but you get the picture :laugh2: get the picture get it :laugh2: Oh I crack myself up sometimes ;D

Just curious about the the home desk computer speakers mounted on the sides of each cocktail? Your work is excellent however these speakers detract a lot from the overall look.

Just wondering why you have 6 buttons either side on a horizontal cocktail?
-
Nice Fleet of cocktails. Looks like they are lined up and ready for battle.
Did you weld the legs in a T yourself? Did you use a mig welder?
My only concern is that the glass looks to have a really sharp edge at the corners.
Most cocktails I have seen have rounded edges.
The monitors seem to get a bit lost due to the size. A bigger monitor would of look nice or a smaller cabinet.
Good job over all.
ps the speakers probably should be put inside the cab, cut a hole and put a black grill over it.

yes I agree, I will be looking at improvements on this next time, the main reason I did it like this was easy access to volume control and also could plug earphones straight into speakers if trying to play without annoying others.

for playing street fighter etc, also I have N64 which uses all the buttons etc

Yes I welded the legs but I used an Arc not a mig
the glass corners are rounded, it just doesnt show that well in the pics, I picked up the glass as surplus stock and they cost me $16 each so I couldnt pass up that bargain.
yes the monitors are a bit small, I am trying to understand how to use tv monitors so I can go larger but just cant grasp the concept yet, PC Monitor plug & play, TV Not
and yes the speakers need to be rethought.
Thankyou all for your input, much appreciated

I understand you have 6 buttons for SF on one but did you say you had 6 buttons on each side? I'm just wondering how that works.
