lose the case, surface mount pc?
Dazz:
Right now I have the PC in a PC case inside my cabinet, but I'm thinking of getting another test station to use in my cabinet. This is what I have in my pincab and it works great.

Very nice Dazz
I was going to decase my PC and put it one of my Naomi's along with my 360 and DC. The thing is I want to hook some other stuff up too (Saturn, PS2 etc) and there is no way I can fit everything in so I think I'm just going to leave everything outside of the cab and have a master video/sound/controller port that I can connect each system to.
I do have a nice acrylic mount like yours planned to mount PCBs, MVS Mobo/Naomi shizzle etc. :)
I would love to be able to fit it all in but as you can see space really is a premium in them

I'm having the same question and have been considering many options (most of the above included).
What are your thoughts on passive cooling? My graph card has passive cooling, so no fans to worry there. Processor is an old P4 (775 socket i think), so i'm not sure about heat issues and possibilities on passive cooling...
Any experience/advice on that?

Dazz that's bad ass. That would be perfect for my cab. I have never used a case inside my cab.
I have cool air blowN in from the bottom and fans on top pushing hot air out. The test station looks like it helps keep things organize. Please share where you got this from. :cheers:

I actually got this one from NewEgg.com.
Sunbeam ACTS-T Transparent Clear Acrylic ATX Desktop Ultra Tech Station Acrylic Case - looks like they are sold out though.
It does do a very clean install though. Here are a couple more pics of my install.
The final resting place is on a slide out tray on the backside of my pinball cabinet.
It looks like HighSpeed PC has some nice Tech Stations as well. I think I'm going to get one of their standard stations to go inside my MAME cabinet.
