monkeychunkuk Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Yes I rounded the edges thanks fir the advice, I know I think I may turn the shed into a arcade. Not much of a update today just fitted some T- Molding to see how it looks you gotta love that bling Hard to show in a picture but I tested the speaker and fitted the Sub woofer and played Mortal Kombat and the bass and sound was terrific. Anyone good arcade names? I was thinking "Ultracade" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisurf Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Luv the Chrome 5 moulding. I did the same and it just sings.. This is a nice build Monkeychunkuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazp Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 she's a beauty for sure! does this style of cabinet still look good up against a wall, or does the curve make it nicer to have in a corner maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeychunkuk Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cheers for the feed back, It really hard to say about the curves because of how small my shed is like the side artwork I'm not really going to get a chance to appreciate it,I could have just left it square at the back but I didn't want to build a big box, and I guess it will help with airflow at the back when I fit fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie_jones Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Looking good chunky, what size bezel will you end up with around you monitor, the injustice cab you showed looks great but it's seriously let down by the massive bezel around the screen..

monkeychunkuk Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cheers Rich you know I never even thought about it? It's 30inch wide so it fits a 32 inch tv (measured diagonally) So almost nothing on the sides and more on the top and bottom. I may push it up and make the bottom of the surround part of the control panel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkropp17 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Personally I think 32" is the best screen size, it's what I'm using too. This link made that decision final for me (scroll down to screen). Like the progress! http://www.gamespy.com/articles/110/1103044p2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeychunkuk Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Well like all builds you get the odd set backs. Mine came today when I decased the LCD I had planed on using I stripped it down and removed part's I didn't need speakers etc But when flipped it on its front I hadn't noticed a screw that had fallen out, so I accidentally put all of the tv weight onto the screen. And yup It cracked and even though I'm a qualified electrician I still googled LCD repair and of course you can not fix a cracked screen Happy days Sad times Oh well guess I'll have to hit gumtree/eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
