Yo yo yo, update time..  So i've finished the main cab vinyl wrapping, fans, grills, mounting power supplies, channels for RGB leds,

PC is mounted on rails too, so i can pull it out to do maintenance.  I also 3D printed out a lot of stuff, placards, mounts for power supplies etc.

I've just finished 3D printing out a mount for the monitor. Which i'll install tomorrow.  I've also got a Perspex top for the control panel routed and ready to go.

Things i've got left to do.

• Make doors for front, and 2 for the rear and vinyl wrap them.
• Mount the control panel and control panel box. (have to wrap some panels for the box and install hinges)
• Mount the rear power plug port (for IEC plug)
• Install RGB lights and front RGB light display in front door.
• Install 28inch LCD Marquee.
• Install
  
• Wire the speakers, sub woofer
• Install the roms, gui etc

Then after i've mounted all this i have to mount the power supply for all the buttons (leds), trackball, Joysticks, 2x ultimate I/O interfaces for the controls.
Finally install a Tempered Glass sheet for the front of the arcade and mark out the vinyl to cover the areas around the monitor on it.

Happy Birthday videoholic.

on this song, the aspect ratio of the video is somewhat incorrect which can be overlooked.  the frame rate is wrong which is somewhat unacceptable.  the video should be in 60i instead of 24p which means 12i or 6p has been truncated.

so what did you do and get on your birthday?  how are you doing btw?

The PS2 and 360 are about the same size. The 360 I think is slightly bigger. But not by much.

yeah.  didn't know xbox uses pc disc drive until you explained it.  didn't even know that the xbox 360 disc drive is locked to a specific systems serial number either.

speaking about size, the xbox360 is probably much smaller than the ps3 but just minutes ago i remembered that the 360 uses an external power supply unlike the ps3 where the power supply is internal which might means make the xbox 360 smaller than it already is.

just for curiosity.  is the xbox360 smaller than the ps2 since you have both systems?

Oh damn. Just saw this. Yeah. You're correct. There is a hard drive bay. I have a 3.5 in mine actually where I softmodded it with FreeHDBoot. I have to install some games on it at some point and play with the softmod some more. The disc drive the Xbox uses is actually based off PC disc drives. It's about the same size (3.5 inch form factor). There were a few manufacturers though. IIRC, Thompson, Samsung and Phillips made drives for it. All interchangeable too which is nice when you replace it when it dies. Unlike the 360 where the disc drive is locked to a specific systems serial number for no god damn reason.

Happy Birthday clips.

on this video, the aspect ratio is incorrect which can be overlooked while the frame rate is lower than the original 60i which makes motion look not as good which is unacceptable.

so what did you do and get on your birthday?

Forgot to post this a few days ago. Thought my Xbox was broken. It wasn't. Anyway, here's a video of that lol.

i didn't know the original xbox is that big until your video.  compares the xbox to both your hands shown in the video, i realize damn the xbox is that big.  it does make it looks like the original ps2 was greatly well built since its much smaller i think.  i only watched the first couple minutes of your video though.

Yeah. It's a chonky boy. But it's so big because of the PC style disc drive and hard drive. It was the biggest and heaviest console I owned until I bought my PS5 lol.

yeah.  the ps2 has an empty expansion slot for a 3.5" hdd too i think and its (the ps2 console) still much smaller than the xbox.  not sure about what kind of disc drive the xbox uses though.
