monkeychunkuk Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 So as mentioned on the other thread after picking a nippy little cheap PC it time I built my Dino loving son Jack his own arcade. His birthday party is Sunday so i left it a bit late as i started to build it Wednesday lucky i had prototype Bartop shape to hand to help me a little Ok so I shortened below the CP to look flush I gave the sides a sand And painted the panels After that I put it back together And sanded the Control Panel down And that's enough for today.... my first time using black board paint I may have put it on a bit to thick I'll do a light sand once it dry .... If ever Fitted the vinyl to the Control panel and did a test fit and fitted the marquee Drilled out the 28mm for the buttons Did a test a fit for monitor bezel And from the front (the plastic protect will hide the shame Also fitted the speakers a quick test got of the screen protector And stripped the PC and removed the bits I don't need and tapped into the on/off button Little sneak view with t-molding The buttons I bought can be swapped One complete control panel being tested Bezzel sprayed and the machine is done Not my greatest work but I'm happy with it,its not shelled completly but Hyperspin is in the start up folder and windows branding has been removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucelee00 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 @monkeychunkuk Nice build! Could you tell me the name of those white mounting blocks you used ? did make them or purchase them ? if you purchased them where did you get them? I like that they are small and fairly discreet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey buddy most DIY stores should have them they are a lazy mans cut baton if I'm honest at this stage having built a few machines I should be doing it properly But they are so easy Sent from the smut hut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
