Update,

Got pretty sick, was out of action for a good 1.5 weeks.

Done the wraps on the sides, T-Molded one side but didn't have quite enough for other side.  Got more T-mold on order which should come monday.

A few pics of the wraps done.   Once i can do the t-molding, the real fun starts!!!!

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.

Well stop trying to upload dick pics!

The attachment system with this forum software is hit or miss. I've gotten that error too myself. And I'm the administrator! I should do what I want lol. I just wait and try again and it'll let me pass usually. I think one time I just changed the name.

The arcade is coming along nicely! How much research did you do to figure all this out?

EDIT: Just checked the settings for attachments. I have the attachment security settings not really set. Just size limits. It's probably just a glitch.

Not much research at all. Only research has been on the Ultimate I/O controller, buttons, sticks etc. 

Finding places to precut things has been hard. Getting the perspex top for the control panel was a pain. Took 4 places before I found one that would do it.

Plans for the arcade woodwork I came across by accident. I heavily modified it to suit my needs.

The rest is just knowledge built up over years of experience. Building electrical switch boards for 10 years, electronics experience etc. Growing up with PCs.


Monitor has been mounted.
