JaronSenna Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hope Manic is ok, but I can't wait to see how he is progressing. Looks like an awesome build and a great way to see how well the ArcadeFS plans work for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicshere Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'm great, just busy. Still sanding this beast. Can't be long until I'm ready to go to the painting phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaronSenna Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Looking good! Are the sides and the "base" (the lower part where the PC goes in) still separate pieces at this point of the build? So they can be painted white and black (or any other colours of course) easily? And another question: The backpanels are not shown here, but on Maxime's website they seem to pretty much seal the back of the machine, but the site shows mostly renders it seems (http://www.arcadefromscratch.com/index.php/modeles/la-borne-hd) , so I wonder how they fit on your machine in real life? Keep up the great work, looks to be an awesome machine! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emixama Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi, I'm happy you are good manicshere, good job. JaronSenna, you can contact me on my facebook page if you want more informations or more pictures of real built of my newlix. Maxime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicshere Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Never shared a picture of the controlpanel so here it is! @JaronSenna - I'm pretty sure the base and sites are stuck together. Which I kinda regret, but deamed necessary at the moment. Not sure what you mean in your second question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicshere Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have most likely already asked this question somewhere here, but would like some suggestions for speakers to use in this cab. I've been looking around and done some testing, but found nothing I like or there's an issue with the formfactor. Hoping to get some responds so I can finish this up.

emixama Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I used a 2.1 kit for computer and i have replaced the two speakers by pionner two way cars speakers with black grid. It sounds very good ans looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether you want to go 'authentic' or not. The rest of your awesome and accurate build indicates that you might! I used the Logitech Z-5450 running in dual stereo mode. Left and right channels both come out of 2 sets of speakers whilst retaining the use of the subwoofer. Edit: I de-cased them: Mounted them on MDF board: And found some fairly authentic looking speaker grilles: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaronSenna Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Not sure what you mean in your second question. What I meant is: have you made the back panels already? And if so, could you share how their shape fits? From what I can see, they have a special chamfer? @emixama: I'll PM you. I quit facebook and don't want to hijack this thread. But again Manicshere, great build so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicshere Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Update!How have I not finished yet? Simple. Other projects and life has simply gotten in the way. Everything has been primed and sanded as seen in the picture below. I'm actually a bit further with the build, but that will be in my next update. For now I've reuploaded all images and reorganized the worklog, next update should be a lot more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Going for clear plexiglass? I always liked the lightly smoked ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicshere Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 @THK All plexiglass on this build (Marquee and on CP) will have artwork behind it and I think clear will desplay it best. Would also work best with my colorscheme I think. Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I just like how it looks Some more angles & info Reply #157 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicshere Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 @THK Ah yes. It looks great, but it wont have a bezel at all. In that regard I will be keeping it authentic. Although I do take a lot of liberties with the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicshere Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Recieved and applied my artwork today. Marquee CP Artwork applied Not the best pictures, but Bradley did a great job on these. Texture of the CP Reverse printet Marquee Got some bubbles. Lesson learned for next time I guess. Credit goes to @SubZero for designing these. Had to redraw all of it because the original file got corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicshere Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 @gigapig haha me too. Parents are loving it. My dad is helping out a lot with the build and my grandparents house is MASSIVE so they don't mind a bit. Perfect circumstances. I've also been following your latest build. Great job man!!

manicshere Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 @Samorite Thanks for the tip! Today I made some progress. Back and front of the lower segment have been mounted. So many things have been finished and just needs to be assembled. Not in that big of a hurry though as it's way to cold to paint atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks one thing I found even painting in quite a warm Autumn, the damn drying time. When you just want to get on and get it done. I'd go back to the garage, pick up a piece I'd painted and leave a dirty great fingerprint on it or return to find flies trying to get themselves off the paint trap. In know there's little fly legs still under that paint work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abeywan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hello I have been follow your post. I have bought plan from arcadefromscratch.com and I see it use 22mm and 18mm boards. So my question was did you use 22mm and 18mm or just 18mm? Because I ask you the question is, there are no 22 mm in the hardware stores.
