My first mame bartop cabinet (wip)

sinatra:
Last night I made the mount for the monitor. Came out okay. The buttons extends 1-1,5mm from the front, so I can't get it all flush with the plexi. I might paint the bezel black just to hide it. Gonna use a tinted plexi in front anyways. Dunno how it will look yet.


Monitor mounted


My niece and nephew came over and played some '88 games amongst others. And they enjoyed it


Spackled some of the screwholes (today)
It does not come out too good in this picture. But i routed the slot for the t-molding today too

I also rounded the front of the CP today. But that was a total disaster. It does not match the corner of the side panels at all. Might have to redo the whole CP. And I might do it in aluminium. Will decide next week.

Hopefully I'll be able to order t-modling and plexi this week. And I will have to kick someones butt to do the artwork for the marquee, cp and side panels too

Hi!

This is my first post here on the forum. I have been lurking around for a little while, and I stumbled across this post so I decided to register to reply. I have also been thinking about using the exact same Kator Legaz-design combined with some features from the Wee-Cade for my first building project, so I would love to see the end product here, Sinatra. Did you finish it? I am also curious about what you ended up using when it comes to the hardware. I am a real noob when it comes to this, but I imagine it would be wise to use a mainboard with onboard graphics. And if anybody can point me to a nice setup that doesn't cost the world but would work nicely in a barcab like this virtual hugs are due.  :D

Incidentally, I live in Norway too btw. :)

My guess is he fell into the same trap that everyone around here does at some point.  He made the darned thing functional before finishing it :)

Arch:
Hehe, I guess that can happen. Better make myself a promise that I won't play until everything is set. Too bad though, as it would be cool to get to know another Norwegian who's into this. There aren't that many I think.  :-\

Bazinga!

Not finished. Not used since the last post. Everything just came to a standstill when I did'nt get the CP right.
Might pick up on it again. Or just give it away as it is.
Any Norwegians who wants it?
