I am thinking the displaying to 4 monitors and creating/scaling the art will be the biggest undertaking...thanks for following.

I appreciate you posting the modified version in the thread, it will make it easy others to follow along :applaud:

Holy crap! :notworthy: What a crazy, in a good way, project. On the monitor front do you plan on putting different images on each side of the cab? If not a 3 monitor video card could be had fairly cheaply and is not to hot running and just use a splitter for the same image on both. Of course having both I'm sure the option for having separate images on either side is desirable. I think it might be cool if you could mirror the main monitor onto one of the sides so spectators could watch without have to crowd around and look over your shoulder.

I know there is some right/left specific side art, so the intention right now is to have 4 seperate displays.

That would be cool :cheers:
I picked up a USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter today and I am testing it now and it seems to be working well. Big Blue and Windows both recoginize it as monitor 2.
This is the one I picked up http://www.j5create.com/our-products/external-video-adapters-usb3/jua350.html
TheDude:
This is a pretty good idea :applaud:
Looking forward to follow your build :notworthy:

Thank you. I do have to say that this epic undertaking is much easier because of Typefighter01's CNC.
It's already been a few months since we started but I think we made a lot of progress so far. Being able to send files for Typefighter01 to cut on his CNC sure helps but it feels strange to be designing things in one place and cutting them in another hundreds of kilometres away.

Some cabinets do have distinct artwork on each side and given all the work and cash required to build these cabinets it would have been a shame not to have that capability.

You know what Typefighter01 said about feature creep earlier? Yeah... it's a nice idea but I think we already have our plates full. ;)
