Phase 2 Complete

Reached a good stage in the project today - all the wood sections have now been put together! So, I guess you could say we are pretty close to a fully constructed arcade cabinet. I modified the plans a little bit, and put in a shelf for the fluro light, because I didn't really want to attach it using L-brackets, particularly as its not quite as wide as the rest of the cabinet. This way I can probably just tape or chain the fluro to the shelf, and it should be nice and stable. Here's a piccy:


And for completeness, here's a shot of the back - I attached the final panel down the bottom.


There's a few things I want to get done before I start painting. First of all I need to get a hold of some perspex, for the marquee, as well as for placing in front of the TV screen. All of the buttons/joysticks still need to be wired up as well. Also, I'm considering changing the hinges on the coin door, cause I really don't like them all that much. The computer needs to be setup, speakers installed, and artwork found for the sides. Lots to be done!
