Building a cab from scratch, lots of questions, a couple pics, etc.. need help
TheRed:
So, here's what I have...
AW MOBO and game
a 6 button 2 player Aero City style CP
this vga 27" monitor
and this wiring (neo stuff, but I will make it work) just the wiring, not the 2 slot or marquee.
Any advice on getting started....
-woodwork?
-links to diagrams?
-what fuse will I need? (the wiring is missing it)
-supporting the monitor?
-thoughts in general?
-Should I go for wood? or Plastic?
-should the monitor slant like neo cabs or be straight like the mini cute?
lots of thoughts running through my head....but would like some advice

What is it you want when the project is finished? I'm having a hard time deciding what to tell you to do.
Fozzy The Bear:
Like Mark says.... Be a bit more specific about what you actually want to achieve with this cab. Try and tell us what you plan to run on it. Try to tell us what hardware you want to use (PC etc) if you're not using that MVS two slot.
It's difficult to answer your questions without knowing what you want to achieve.

It's an Atomiswave arcade motherboard that outputs in VGA.
I am thinking a wood cab with the Aero City CP in it and the monitor. I was thinging that it would be cool to have the cab seem small with the huge monitor in it. Since I am building it myself, I can have the monitor as far to the edges of the cab.
The aero city CP looks like this CP but the sega one...just the blue and silver part with the buttons, not the whole thing.

hope that helps a bit. I really need the advice on how to secure the monitor and anything else would be great too...
TheRed:
the monitor will be set up horizontal with no option for vert. I have a marquee light and will have it in use above the monitor. The cp will stick out. no coin door, just a door to reach in and switcht he game etc.. from the front.
I will add more as I get breaks at work
