I used a "Keywiz" it works, but I wish I didn't have to use a switch for the keyboard, in the bottom front there is a USB port. Laminated with formica. Used Red T-molding, originally was going to use black but decided not to. 2 HD, one with Win98 (4Gig) and the other with all the roms (9Gig)
Front is covered by glass. Turn on by little buttons by the CP on a strip of silver colored metal.

I like it, I'm thinking about building something like that for my brothers kids.

Just one thing whats the deal with the hole for the fan on the back, you should have bought a hole saw!! However I guess no one will see it since its at the back.

Great job!!

Death Dealer,

Where did you get the small buttons at the top of your cabinet? Thanks!

pointdablame · « **Reply #14 on:** June 26, 2004, 01:54:14 am »

do you have any measurments for that? I've been drawing up some plans for a bartop and would appreciate em if you have em.

DeathDealer · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2004, 01:23:24 am »

Here are some measurements, on the picture, I used a 17" monitor and the motherboard is almost touching the bottom of the monitor.

DeathDealer · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2004, 01:25:31 am »

Floyd10 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 01, 2004, 01:52:14 am »

that really kicks ass

pointdablame · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2004, 02:05:52 am »

that looks really cool, hope mine can turn out half as good. I take it you took the computer out of the case correct? I'm debating on whether to use the computer case or not (I need to use a PCI card), and whether to put it under the monitor or perhaps behind it. Just have to keep playing with plans I suppose

Do you perhaps have some pics of the inside with the computer installed?

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2004, 09:48:50 am »

DeathDealer ,

Can you give some info/ pics of your trackball hack .

I am thinking of doing the same thing and I have been looking at a few trackball mice with nothing relly looking to easy to mount.

Thanks in advance
Ed

DeathDealer · « **Reply #21 on:** July 01, 2004, 11:33:52 pm »

The Trackball is a Logitech Marble Mouse taken apart, they are very Cheap, $10.00 to $15.00 US, They are USB but come with a PS2 adapter. very easy to mod, just take the little switch off and soder the wire to the buttons, you have to cut part of the hole in the under side of the control panel to be able to make the ball surface, I used a dremel.

Nice use of old equipment

Your Bigfoot HD brought back a lot of memories. It's the first working one I've seen in a couple of years..

After just finishing a jukebox borject, I'd like to mention that I had a TON of troubles with the system until I put it back into a proper computer case. From what I gather from a few conversations, PCI cards should be grounded to the PS. Just thought I'd mention it -in case- you're getting flukey problems like the system booting into BIOS, boot screen lockups etc. Looks good though!

No, no problem at all, but thanks. If i get any problems of that kind I could always ground it with a small wire.

The mouse is being held by a metal bracket shaped to go around the plastic body of the assembly holding the ball, which also holds the mouse electronics and the sensor.
