Showcase Cabinet

dark_jedi:
Well, I finally got the go ahead from the wife and I am hoping to get some parts for Christmas. I am looking forward to going through the process, and Jakobud just made my life 10000 times easier! Jako, can I email you with any questions I have concerning the plans or would you rather me PM you here?

Thanks again! Good luck Hiub, feel free to bounce ideas off of me and I will do the same!

Hiub1:
I think my showcase will be my second cab. I got a bit intimidated by it and decided to go with a regular upright. Don't shoot me :/ I am sure now I will be able to pull it off whenever I do try to build one. Good luck and keep us updated!

Silver:
Nooo! Aim high my friend!... My argument is that building a seperate pedestal means it can be put away when not in use.....

You won't need powerstrip at all if you are using the Tv-out of your graphics card as the card automatically converts it to a tv signal

If you mean using the VGA output of your pc into the tv then the only possible way (without an external converter) would be using a Scart socket with RGB (common in european or bigger tv's) or component (not that common on tv's I think) and powerstrip. You could not use S-video with this method, if I am not mistaken...

Hiub1:
Yeah, room really isn't an issue for me. I've got a big basement to stick everything in. Thanks for clearing up the Powerstrip issue. I am running to a TV with S-Video, and I figured it would not make a difference but just wanted to make sure anyways. No scart around here either in USA, but I think the S-Video does a good enough job for me. The showcase WILL be next!

Silver:
Yes S-video looks pretty good IMHO - I think Oscars Spinner site has some closeup comparisions of most types if you want closer look.

Arcade monitor+ arcadeVGA is top notch if you have arcade monitor and run windows, but S-video will be fine.
