Hi all,
I finished up 90% of the cabinet over the weekend and had it up and running on Sunday - I still have a front panel to install, t mold trim to add and to do up art for the marquee, bezel and sides (eventually).
Here are the rest of my build photos :
Filled in the screw holes and build scars - also gave it two coats of Resene QD primer and two coats of white lustracryl - not pictured
Added automotive vinyl wrap to the control panel, assembled the buttons and wired everything up.
Once I do up my marquee art ill fit properly, right now tape is holding it together.
My current bezel is a piece of corrugated/ribbed plastic sheet stuff from warehouse stationery, once I do the art ill place a sheet of Perspex over the screen and bezel to make it all shiny.
I extended the vinyl wrap down the front to cover up some dodgy work and break up all of the white.
Current state of completion - You can see the pc and stereo just below the control panel, ive been thinking of the fronts form factor as ive been using it and i havent quite decided on a door, drawer or to just keep it bare but im otherwise very happy with it and have been putting it through its paces all week
Cheers
Hads

Re: Summer Project: Arcade Cabinet
Thanks guys ,that means a lot coming from you guys
I've decided to use the bottom of the cabinet as storage to help my table stay clutter free.
