It's been a long time. A lot has changed but not much that's visible:
-The LCD was remounted at a 14-15 degree angle.
-The cabinet was disassembled and reassembled in the basement, this time attached to the base.
-The control panel is 90% wired, with the top panel hinged.
-Car stereo amp and 6"x9" speakers installed.
-4 XBOX 360 controllers and relay hooked up to PC + Xbox 360 (not done).
There's still what feels like a ton left to do, without even considering filling, sanding, and artwork:
-Tweak controller order on PC and XBOX 360.
-Figure out how to lift the control panel top from the rear edge (closest to the start buttons) once the LCD bezel is installed. The control panel top is heavy and I'd rather not used the joysticks as handles.
-Figure out what to do with the awkward area between the TV and marquee. I'd like to make the marquee taller. It's currently 6"x42" but I'd like it more like 10"x42". It would require adding material to the side panels (boooo). Still, I think it would look better. The original plan was to have a rotating 39" LCD, but it fell by the wayside long ago. Another option would be to add an LED graphic equalizer (

-Bend, mask, and paint acrylic bezel.
-Wire lights and fans.
-Tidy up cables.
-HyperSpin final config including joystick config
-And, worth mentioning again, finishing work, art work, complete disassembly and reassembly.
Thanks for tuning in!
