sparkywallnut Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 WOW! Really nice detail. I love the way you have the PC setup there. It's projects like this that make love this hobby! I do have question for you though. What kind of wood/matieral are you using? MDF? or somthing else? It looks like a combination of materials. I love MDF but it can be a pain to fasting it all together! You find yourself becoming good friends with wood glue,and wood filler. Ha Ha! Anyway, keep up the great work, and I look forward in seeing the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottEK Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The BIOS screen is motherboard specific. The guy in the video has an ASUS motherboard. I have an ASUS motherboard too and that's the last step that I'm on. The rest is Windows 7 specific but there should be similar possibilities with Windows XP.

johndarc Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 wowwy wow wow. I was hoping to build a cab for my dad while he's away to accompany his Ms Pac-Man machine. I've been pretty discouraged at the cost of materials, but THIS surely has renewed my vigor. What size LCD is that? Are you using MDF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
