tkropp17 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I decided to start a new full-size cab since my last build. I went with a 6ft version of RidicRick's ArchAngel build. His build and MK9 coming out on PC are where the inspiration came from for this cab. 32" LED Insignia TV xbox 360 MK9 control panel i5, 4gb ram HP laptop Special Thanks RidickRick for his build plans Jumpstile for helping out with MAME builds and random questions Mockup Basic Tools Printed $4 layout (FedEx printed this from a pdf) Clamped Down & Screws added to keep it in place First Cuts Cut out the control panel base to a nice curve instead of that box Sides are done! Build - Had Home Depot do three 30 inch wide cuts in a sheet of MDF So Close!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkropp17 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just needs a few minor touches (like a real marquee) then it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkropp17 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I need some help for Marquee ideas. I'm thinking about keeping it simple, maybe a black marquee that in red says FIGHT!! or FINISH HIM!! in MK font. I can't find this font though. If you can help, let me know! Thanks!

Pyramid_Head Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Tried any of these? http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/site/fonts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkropp17 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I did, but none of the F's are the same and the fonts are a little different. I found Fight images for MK9, so I think I'm going to go with one of them. Picking up a Jtagged 360 this weekend so I can get MK9 back in here. Who knows if I can get it to launch through Hyperspin though... Seems like A LOT of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkropp17 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wanted to post a few updates. This was a learning experience for me. Eventually I'd like to rebuild to incorporate my learnings and use the same hardware. Now includes a JTag 360. I have two 360 controllers and kinect in addition to the MK controls. I have a rocksmith cable, thats why there is a pic of the bass Aimtraks are next. When they come in, I will relocate the kinect and aimtrak sensor to be above the monitor, behind the glass. 14/01/27/jede8uga.jpg[/img] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukensteinz Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Very nice! Quite clean. What do all the glowy buttons do? Do they get annoying?

Green is Start, Red is Exit, etc, I'd like to get labels on them. They're actually not as intense as they look in the pictures. I think if I had better lighting you could see there is much less glow.

tkropp17 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Since I've moved into my own place, I been adding on to my living room aka future man cave post marriage... Here are the latest additions. New bass and albums hung. Yes, that is kill em all from Megaforce passed down from a generous family member. Truth be told, it's only worth $45, but it's a piece of metal history too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkropp17 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 I just got an Apple TV with some credit card reward points and I'd like to integrate it into the cab.

Or maybe just put a media receiver in your cab that can handle multiple a/v inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
