picture update! wo0t


the bezel isn't mounted yet because i'm having the plexiglass fabricated.. should be done tomorrow or the day after. haven't started the artwork yet, it's going to be on a seperate sheet of wood and mounted over the side... then we're putting leds behind it to light behind it


finished control panel

control panel wiring

and spring cleaning my garage i found this really cool kiosk keyboard left over from something else, so we thought it would be awesome to mount in the cabinet



and it mounted



the control panel will cover it completely and so unless you know it's there it'll be hidden

once the control panel is mounted and the plexiglass is on i'm having a party. everyone is invited. byob.

[Captain Silver]

I envy you. =(

[Vegeta]

wait til i post the final budget numbers.

i think i'm about 2x on my $300 budget =,(

[Captain Silver]

It's still super awesome.

And that keyboard has the best space bar ever.

[Vegeta]

you can't really tell in either picture but that keyboard is mounted flush in with the tray.

all space bars should be labeled SPACE

[Raditzu]

You should post a price breakdown when you get it finished.

[Mowgli]

Yeah, so my fantasies become dreams that eventually almost become goals. =]

That's what happens when you use pressed wood. :o

EDIT: Make sure you keep that stuff away from moisture. I would REALLY suggest getting some better wood though. Pressed wood isn't really the sturdiest stuff, you know? It'd be a better investment to get some pine or oak or something.

[Vegeta]

The inside frame made up of pine 2x4s, the two side panels are the only OSB and it's getting covered up. The rest is mostly particle board.

[Violet]

Ah, alright, lol. I just saw loads of pressed wood and was like, o.o

Looking sweet so far, though, man. Just wondering why the outside controllers only have three buttons, though. XD

[Vegeta]

cause there are no 4player games that require the 6 button "street fighter" layout, only 2 player games.

we got it hooked up and plugged in and played few stages from the side scrolling D&D game. i need to check some wiring things though, something came unplugged in all the consturction.

price chart is here:

i might update it if i discover a huge missing expense.

also, it does not include a computer or tv. i had those beforehand and so i didn't pay for either.

here's a quick update

handpainted sideart panel, it's going to float on the side and we're putting in a light behind it

[Captain Silver]

Wow. That's amazing.
