WayneKerr Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7527/1012457w.jpg I'll be off tomorrow to work on it. Gotta get a new sawblade. This is just a working prototype. I wanted to tryout the 7 button layout, but I think'll go with something else. Most of the games I played were 3 buttons at the most. That old PC is done for, the newer PC (pictured.) Is awaiting a few upgrades. Hopefully one of which is WIN7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's looking awesome man! Are you going to build some sides too? Or are you just working on the controller part right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneKerr Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Awesome work. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts J/K Thats kinda lacking too. The monitor in the picture has the vesa mount. Tomorrow I'll go get the screws to mount it. I plan on it being a (manually) rotating monitor, so I can play the vertical shumps correctly. I had a lazy Susan assembly for years, but I can't seem to find it. I'll see if I can pick that up too. I am looking for a PCI express x1 card to put in this computer. I need a little more juice for some other games. A RAM upgrade is in order as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneKerr Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 I thought I'd update my arcade thread. Not much progress except I have installed and started to configure hyperspin. Its a neat addition to the experience. I have ordered a mount to mount my monitor. I recently so someone detail their rotating monitor mount and it seems very doable. Another portion I have considered incorporating are lighting up the push bottons based on the game selected. I think I may have changed my design of the cabinet again. So I think I am going to just stick to working out the configuration, lighting and rotating part for now. Its still a little colder than I care to spend outside. For to follow once I get off my dead ass and start cutting some wood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneKerr Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ordered some translucent buttons, RGB leds, LED controller, lazy susan assembly. Last week I ordered my vesa mounting bracket. More to follow later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
