Arcade Cabinet with Pixel Qi 10" Display for Dynamic Marquee

Post by HacknSolder »

Cabinet's Exterior
Here's the arcade cabinet from the outside. The wall and marquee was designed by me in Illustrator CS2 using Recroom's printing templates.

Cabinet's Interior
Here's the arcade cabinet from the inside. The Pixel Qi controller is mounted to the back of the monitor mount for easy access. You can also see the keyboard controller cables and wiring. Because of the cable hole that runs through the middle of the cabinet's computer shelf I decided to mount the computer and power supply on separate pegboards. A little challenging to load and unload but not impossible.

Cabinet In Action!
Here's the arcade in action! As you can see whenever you select a game in Hyperspin, the game's logo appears in the marquee's LCD. :)

Parts list
I used shipping foam on the screws so that they don't scratch up the cabinet's computer shelf.

Here's some photos

Sprayed a Tubberware container black then cut slots for the power switch, components and wiring. This goes on the keyboard shelf for easy access to turn the computer on and off.
