VoidWalker Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I finally decided to post some photo of my dual monitor cabinet, started to build around 1 years ago using some part of my first cab (this is my second work) and building from zero the other, but there is still a lot of work to do! the main monitor is a 27" samsung, the upper screen it's a 25" LG ultrawide is used as "marquee monitor" . All the button and joystick are RGB, decals are self drawed (by me) and printed on vinyl adesive. Computer Spec: Windows 7 x64 , Intel Core I3 3220T, Motherboard Asrock H77 PRO4-M, 8Gb RAM DDR3, AMD Radeon HD7750, 1Tb WD Blue HDD here some fast (and old) photo of the cab and a little demostration of the LED + Marquee combination. I will make some better photo when i get the inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamVSsami Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Great Job, Your Cab looks great!!! One thing I would use a bigger monitor for this cab. The screen you are using now is to small (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen you are using now is to small (I think) The entire cab is basically designed around the monitor, i have decided the width of the cab by the monitor width, and builted all the other things around it. changing it would require a lot of work I'm used to having 22-24inch monitors, so a 27" screen for me look soo big...

patrickfx Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Look good, so good for inspiration ! Me too I'm used for more big screen, I'm having right now a 27 inch 3:4 old TV. But everything is related to personal background And the fun is to build something which make us happy ! I have a question. Did you think to use your 27 in vertical orientation. That was my though of my next cabinet. Another question about side artwork, is it you who make this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shitoken Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Nice slim cabinet. Good work mate. I like your artwork very well designed, with all the characters representing the emulation world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidWalker Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 yes i have made the side art, It is not as difficult as it seems, selected the character, created a photoshop document with the exact measurements and printed adhesive vinyl, i drawed 2 or 3 version of the artwork , electronic, abstract... but this layout is what I liked most. i will make a google drive space in future, maybe i will make the PSD free for those who want it. When I was still planning the cab i have thinked about a way to rotate the screen in vertical position for the game that require that layout, but i have no experience in that sector, it's a ttto much advanced electronic for me actually.

VoidWalker Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Rotating monitor will be very useful in case like this: new marquee configuration for flipper system (Future Pinball) Builded a lower door with a real coin mech, i work well with 0.984" coin (50cent euro or a quarter dollar) for some reason the mechanism are ""useless"" so it works with any coin I made some mistake with the color (Buyied a much glossy color, i fix it with a spray color) for the moment i leave it so, in future i probably wrap them with carbon look vinile Some random photo! i seriously need some tips on how to take good photo in the metal slug pictures you can see a sneak peek of my borderless bezel pack (link in signature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks for the detailed update. Appreciated. I really like the way you done the bottom/side panels build....Seems a simplier way to build, little less material waste maybe and looks cool.

VoidWalker Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 thx thatman84! this is my second cab so i designed it to be more structurally stable and more cheaper as possible (but it's still a quite big expense) here the new photo to show the new plexiglass monitor cover. I was very happy to see that the IR sensor for the gun isn't blocked by the plexiglass. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
