Mount DVD drive on the Admin Bar?
protokatie:
If you could incorperate a slit style DVD drive (as opposed to the tray style) I say go with it. Simply for the sole purpose of using the cab as an impromptu CD player. If you could have a program sitting in the background waiting to play any ACD put in and then stop playing when ejected, it could be worth it. Would be kinda cool to start up SFII and then pop in "Rust in Peace" as an added soundtrack as well :D
It IS your project, and as long as doing a test involving this is concerned and if you aren't too tight on money to do it as an experiment, then just do it. I would like to see how it turns out. (Although, I wouldn't recommend trying to watch DVDs on a cab... Wouldn't be very comfy, just stick to ACDs and MP Cds and for adding new roms)
EDIT: And to answer your "real" question: You already have an admin bar, so no you cannot do much more to "take away" from the "arcade look". Although, the fact you are using a slot loading DVD drive just means you can hide more "non authentic" arcade stuff and also eat it too!

I'm going to go ahead and add it to the admin bar. The drive jas been sitting on my desk not being used anyway. I'll post some pictures once I'm done. Hopefully next weekend. Thanks for all the input.

I mounted a slot load drive in my admin panel. It's one of my favorite things about my project.
Here's the writeup on how I mounted it.

Sweeeet!
if you are interested, I can show you how I set up Mamewah to play my music in the background while you play Mame! I use mplayer and nircmd together to put the program up into higher memory so that it plays the music "in the background" and won't interfere with most games (except for maybe really CPU intensive ones).

I gotta go with the crowd here, Since the install of windows I have yet to use my dvd drive.
But if I were to, the way to do it is the way Pixel did his :notworthy:
By the way Pixel did ya ever finish that cab? I remember seeing this in your thread bout 2 years ago ;D
