Low budget ghetto mountain jukebox clone

[abispac]

So im in a low budget, and need to create a good looking jukebox, so what do i do? 
Try my luck a making a mountain jukebox clone, so i started to cut the front and back parts first

glue them together with my ghetto clamps method

and tomorrow will cut the plastic glass, and hope everything comes out nice.
Pardon the crappy pictures.

Not much progress today, but after gluing together the parts i tried the touch glass im going to use, its a salvaged part from a 15inch dell monitor that had this elo glass. Fits perfectly.

So this is where the touchscreen mainboard goes connected to the glass

and this is the board, i got rid of the powerboard and usb, so i simple atached a usb cable directly for the imputs and another usb for the 5v that the board requires.
Tested and it works just like a charm.

Looking good!
I have copied Mountains design in "Brenda's Jukebox" and am currently working on one for my sister called "Gayle's Jukebox"
Links are in my signature below, if you want to check them out.
I am not going as fast as you, weather and some personal stuff has dampened my progress, but I am making some progress and hope to be done with Gayles in a few weeks.
I will be watching your project, looks like you are off to a good start.

thank you sir, but i thinkmine its not going to look as good as yours, as its a low budget,but i think i can make an ok looking clone. time will tell.
Today work got in the way so i did not have any  progress done, but im sure tomorrow will be a better day.

Im sure it will look fine, and you got to stay on your budget, and remember, you are the only one you have to please (unless you are building it for others, like I am LOL), so have fun and good luck!

Its been a slow progress, but im getting there. Sometimes i wish i had master Mountain Sr. abilities and the tools to make this juke the way it should be. Anyway, i found a monitor that fit right in the touch glass bezel and the best part, it was almost free, why almost? because i had to repair a pc for a friend of mine, and he pay me with a core 2 duo system and the monitor.

So i started to test, how the guts would fit, since this is an almost no talent build, its gonna look a bit messy in there.

i think i need a smaller power supply.
and as im using etouch i decided to give it a test.

so far i spended
5 dlls on wood
20 on the salvage elo touch glass , so that would make 25 so far.
Next monday would be buying the plexi glass and the laminate, i think im going to cheat on that as well and use a steel laminate to make it easy. time will tell. until then  here are a couple of more pictures.

looking good.
Im going with XLobby again. I like the way you can pretty much set it up just about anyway you want, but it can be a pain to work with to get it there. Plus it is no longer being upgraded or supported.

Im using a slim line power supply, it takes a lot less room than a conventional ATX PS.
Similar to this:

since i dont onw a router or any fancy tools,i had to send my plexiglass to a pro shop, cost would be around 20 dlls, not a bad deal, hope it comes out nice...

I couldnt take many pctures of the actual building, but after picking up the plexi glass, i just glue it to the mdf faces, then i went to a shop and bought the t molding plus the lamiate, its a steel lamite, i took the guts of a media player keyboard to use the volume knot, and it works prefect, ill post more pictures as ill finish the product.The plexi its a nice black color, its just has the protections until i paint the steel wall, but maybe ill just add water to it so it becomes rusty, maybe it will look nice and vintage, i also didnt use plexi for the marquee, instead i use a perforated steel for more airflow and sound.
