My first cab ever

Chebby · Mar 22, 2023

Mounted the new monitor, an lg 1440p freesync.
I Just used a TV Wall mount with some spacer and put the frame togheter with some L brackets like in this post:

A lot of screw/unscrew to adjust the position, but in the end I'm pretty satisfied... And it's cheap

Quick update:
My pc case is too big, so
I mounted everything on the wood panel

Also changed the rear fan with a corsair from the PC case

Wired and mounted the IEC connector and the outlet

The outlet fits perfectly

I tried this cheap led strip on the control panel, but the light was not uniform

I got this one meter fcob led strip. The result is fantastic but it's really too bright, i need a dimmer.

I only used 58cm. I could use what's left on the marquee

I also got some gray plungers, wires and sanwa stickers

Now I've a problem with the Marquee holder.
The main piece it's in ok condition but the plastic sheet it's pretty fucked up.
Does anyone have one for sale?
Also where can i find some translucent move strips?

Just mounted the sub panel. I had to do another hole for the Power on/off button. Added a usb Port, and a switch for the "dp-ls-rs" setting (some old doujin games doesn't like the d-pad). Now i need only the volume knob.

I've also wired the Brook board, the card Reader light, the turbo led (under the card Reader) and the Coin button to the mech.

Then a basic dimmer for the cp light mounted underneath the wood panel. Now at the minimum power it looks very chill.
All the light and fan are powered by the PC psu.
