PC Specs -

4GB DDR3

1TB HDD

GeForce GTX750 2048MB GDDR5

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Pretty much done with it, except finishing up the front real nice. It has a sliding keyboard tray, two light gun holsters, and an X-Arcade Tankstick. It will plug into TV with HDMI, or I can hook up a monitor and place on top real easily. I can even have both of them hooked up for things that have dual screens.

The beginning of my project:

After the back panel was put in:

Light Gun Mount (will be painting black):

Storage for monitor, flight stick, and Xbox controllers, the USB Hub mounting and finishing wood not completed yet:

View of the sliding keyboard tray:

And here is a video of it booting up:

Love your "holster's"

Did you strip the bezel off the monitor, or is it that thin on the edges?

Looks nice!

It's a Vizio 50" TV and the bezels come that thin. Yeah, the holsters are actually gutter ends, but the guns fit them perfectly. HAHA

Once I paint them black, they will look much better and blend right in. I also plan on putting chrome wire covers over the cables for the guns, something like this.

I have a little bit of work left, but hope to get it done soon.

Completed the USB Mount, just needs paint and trim:

That's good to know!

If they're getting that thin, they'll be easier to fit into a pincab (you know, when I get around giving that a go)

A pincab is going to be my next project. I thought about getting another Vizio to use in it, but I am probably going to just use my old 47" I have in my bedroom and replace it with a new TV for my bedroom, or put the 50" in my bedroom and get a bigger TV for the front room.

The cool thing is that my wife is 100% behind me making these, no matter the cost. I couldn't be luckier.
