UPDATE: I think the name "ArtCade" is better than "BioArtCade" (at least for the first cab...). I'll probably make a BioArtCade later with DNA strands all over or something like that

Hey All,

Woodworking is basically done. Need to add T-molding, coin and access door. Will install monitor and bezel once that's done. Still waiting for Slikstik classic panel... let me know what you guys think!

I finally got the CP in... I like the overall color theme (even though the buttons and joysticks are the wrong color at the moment)

Nice Work!

I was just checking out your website.. and I started to laugh when I read this

""Here's the picture as it stands (the CP is not fully secured yet, but you get the idea... I've been playing all night

""

It seems you broke BYOAC: Rule 27: "Install the Control Panel last."

Cause once get the Control Panel working, 99% of the time, the rest of the work to finish off your cabinet grinds to a halt once your able to play games.

Thats what happen to me, my cabinet is in the same state when I got the control panel working over 2 years ago.

Same here, I got all the pieces for CP # 2, Spinner and Trackball.

But I have been playing the heck out of Robotron hehe.

Aww, I was hoping this was the cabinet that Frosty did the "Bio-Art" for.

What the heck is it called Bioartcade? Because the future marquee might say it? Where's the theme?

bioart · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2004, 10:31:37 am »

hehe, My nickname has been bioart for at least 12 years... (my PhD is in biochemistry

). I haven't decided what kind of side art to give it to keep the theme... On the other hand, I may change its name to the "ArtCade" and keep the confusion away

Nice looking cab, but why the Slikstick? I don't understand why people go to all the trouble to build a cab from scratch and then bolt on a pre-made CP.

It does look really good don't get me wrong but building your own custom CP is a lot of fun, well I think so anyway!

just be hoping that no one comes by and spray paints an "F" in front of the name of your cab....or youll have the Fartcade!!! hahahah...ha....h....hmmm, yup.

That's a great question

I figured I wanted it to be done right and not ever having made a cab or anything this complicated, this would increase my chances of coming up with something useful... I figure that if others want me to build one for them, I may build a CP from scratch then and give them the slikstik... (Don't get me wrong, I love the slikstik, but I can already think of a few thinks I'd love to change on it...

)

Thanks for the compliments...
