There's too much of a bend on that plastic CP. Plus, didn't you already make a thread about this?

I turned an old buggered JVL into a juke box running XMBC via touch interface and PA speakers/Amp etc. Worked out great.

Thanks. It was not a huge job. I found touch drivers for XP and installed an old ex lease dual core Acer PC with XBMC and touch skin.

I purchased some 400W PA active speakers for $100 and installed them directly into the chassis, then scrubbed the plastic with a scotch pad and painted with plasti dip rubber spray paint, only 2 cans needed for a good thick coat.

It cost me $300 all up and sold for $1200. I already have a wall mounted one so didn't need it even though I wish I had kept it.

Cheers

I did something similar. Mine was a Midway Touchmaster. The project thread is here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,84779.0.html

Working on mine trying to make a mini Ms. Pac-man and a Battletoads & Bad Dudes arcade.  Trying to figure out what to do about the bezel is my only problem because mine didnt come with bezels.
