Upgrading my Arcade Cabinet (Current Setup Feb2024) With Pics

[thomas3120]

Hello,

Thought I'd share My recent updates to my arcade cabinet which I first built in 2002.

*Below I have my new Hardware I just got and specs.

This was How it looked for a good while:

 

Recently decided to cut off the Monitor/marquee section.  So basically have now the Control panel and the base of the CP that still has coin mech etc...

Not sure what it's called like this CP with stand or base?..

Here is the New Hardware that I recently bought:

-Asus Z790 Plus with BT and Wifi (up to gen 14 cpu)

-Noctua CPU heatsink with dual 120mm fans (really love this cooler!)

-Corsair DDR5 32Gb dual channel

-CPU is Intel i7 13700K

-Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti Graphics card

-Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus Sound Card

-Corsair RM1000x Power Supply

-WD Black Edition(gaming) 6Tb HDD for all games Emu's HS and RL

Crucial 2Tb SSD for Windows 11 (OS drive)

Corsair 4Tb SSD 'Working' Drive For use for RomVault and Rom work, Media renaming, etc...

This is the New TV I'm thinking of getting, should be really good for gaming:

It's a 55incher.  Almost would like one just a little bit smaller..

I suggest you add a zero to your 6tb hard drive space ...

Once you start adding roms it will start swallowing up space fast.

6tb is nothing (PS2 alone is more than that) for USA/Europe

It looks cool (I love the lightgun, aimtrak?), you should just put some graphic on it

Lately i bought an asus z790-a, 14600kf, 2x16gb ddr5 6400mhz cl32 and a 2tb 990 pro. As heatsink I got a Thermalright phantom spirit 120 evo, terrific heatsink. 83c on prime 95, 73c on cinebench 2024 at half the price of a noctua d12 (and it looks much better lol)
