This build is tip-top!  I love the yellow side panels.  :applaud:

Questions...

1. Where did you get your LED strips?
2. I like you'r silent running setup.  What are you using for a hard drive?  I tried to use something similar to...



The first I purchased was too blue tinted. So I bought this one instead. They are great and has a white colour. You need about 4 of these to get a good strong light.

I use a SSD. You can get a 60 or 64 GB for about $100 or so.

Updated pictures look great.   The VertiCade is a winner.   Hope there will be many clones of this build.  :applaud: :applaud:

The button layout seems a little awkward. A neo-geo setup I think would better. cool build though  :cheers:

I have done that before - so I needed to do something new. Works fine though and also with a spinner:

Hi there, I am just about starting a Weecade build, so yet another notch in your belt  :P

Logitech Z110 speakers. Other than that, they sound awesome!
I was wondering if you had no problem with these having no physical volume? Perhaps the Z120 would be a good alternative if they can be easily taken apart or even the LS11 for the headphone jacks? (again if they are easy to take apart / hack).

looking great as always where do you get your panel mount usb and power connectors I've been trying to find them online but haven't found those exact ones yet

I would like to know this as well.  I had to hack apart an old PSU and an extension cord to make my panel mount power connector.

They sell them at www.arcadeshop.de:
power: www.arcadeshop.de/Power-Supply-Plug-with-filter_386.html
usb: www.arcadeshop.de/Connectors-Neutrik-NAUSB-W-B_1011.html

I have also seen multiple webshops that sell computer parts also sell these usb and similar ethernet connectors.

Love this design. And apologies for bringing this topic back from the dead but could some one point me in the right direction. I'm looking for the LED light strips used in this cab. Can someone tell me where I would could buy them online???

A couple of new pics added.

I am updating the CP with spinner for Arkanoid and I will post pictures of that soon.
Where did you buy the spinner?
