So as mentioned on the other thread after picking a nippy little cheap PC it time I built
my Dino loving son Jack his own arcade.
His birthday party is Sunday so i left it a bit late as i started to build it
Wednesday lucky i had prototype Bartop shape to hand to help me a little
Ok so I shortened below the CP to look flush

I gave the sides a sand

And painted the panels

After that I put it back together
And sanded the Control Panel down

And that's enough for today....

my first time using black board paint I may have put it on a bit to thick
I'll do a light sand once it dry .... If ever
Fitted the vinyl to the Control panel and did a test fit and fitted the marquee

Drilled out the 28mm for the buttons

Did a test a fit for monitor bezel

And from the front (the plastic protect will hide the shame

Also fitted the speakers a quick test got of the screen protector

And stripped the PC and removed the bits I don't need and tapped into the on/off button

wow very cool, i like the chalk drawing board sides :applaud: perfect for your young fella.
IM sure he will get years of fun outta it

Terrific artwork! Well done. Love how you incorporated his name into the Jurassic Park logo. The idea of chalk board sounded a bit funny when I read it but I think would actually work out great for a young fella.

I'm really digging the colours and look of that control panel. Well done!
-
I really like you're design. :cheers: :applaud: Only the swapped parts of the buttons I don't like too much.
-
I love it! :cheers:
-
cheers for the feed back

Good job! In my experience doing a small cab isn't any less time consuming than a big one. Nice that you got it completed in time.
-
Didn't get it when I saw little Jack drawing on the sides but it's a very neat idea !
And the artwork is really well done.
Mind if I posted that on Bartopmania ? Or you could do it yourself since you're a member !
Anyways :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
