Finally getting around to posting some pics

[John Simon]

I built most of this 3+ years ago, but finally getting around to posting a few pics.  I had the idea after reading Ready Player One (before the movie was announced)  Nothing incredibly imaginative.  I took some plans from http://www.lusid.net/arcade/, trimmed it down since I am not using a CRT, and spent a little time on the controls layout.  The marquee and control graphics are slight customizations from some stock designs at https://www.gameongrafix.com/ , and I designed the bezel myself and had them make a professional print of it.  The only regret I have is not having a CRT for shooting games.  I have an IR based gun (similar to WII I think), but you need to stand so far back for it to work, it is not that enjoyable.  But, its not like I don't have a few thousand other games to occupy my time.

 

Here are a few of the early construction pics.

Here is post painting, working on the control layout, and fully assembled but with a temporary inkjet bezel.

Finally (2 years after the last pic posted), you can see the inkjet bezel I finally ditched and the custom bezel in place.  I have glass over the bezel and screen, but I removed it because the glare didn't really do it justice.

Great looking cabinet!

I'm really loving that control panel layout and can't say I recall seeing one that clean while remaining so multipurpose at the same time.

 

Very nice

Thanks for sharing!

Great job! The Lusid cab design is a popular and classic DIY design and you've adapted it very well!

Thanks for sharing pics of your build!
