Garcimak Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) I was building console2jamma cabinet since mid 90's, beginning from pc-engine followed by saturn, Pc based emulation growing i considered an arcade-OS installation for a while but never satisfied with the feeling / ergonomic / boot time and overall plus not interested in later 3d games and upgrading hardware having scan rate issue to mess with. Since Xbox was the cheapest solution to restore a cab and keep a CRT look, i found easier to replace the inside with a RGB TVkeeping his 'front panel' shortened on the side by dremel and black painted (side speakers remounted behind the marquee )then you don't have to worry about handling the whole tube, it's still partially attached to the front plastic shell which itself leaning mostly on support. Fastest way to get the things up IMO, bonus, you can use remote to control volume and keep media input This is a Qix empty cabinet that was given, just had to replace some parts and drill extra holes.

Mega Man (?) Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Hi guys...so I got my cab! ...And I have been busily tearing it apart and cleaning it. I am wondering about button config CPO's I have one... and I actually took it to be printed as just a test... but it printed too small...The printing place was gonna charge me $10 to re-size it... not that I would do that.... and also I was not sure what the right size was... Any advice?: I would imagine that these templates would come in the right sizes.... Here is the one I am working with right now: (thanks to Ace for his continued help!) ps. I am looking for this one in a high res format : Edited September 24, 2011 by Mega Man (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
