[Jumbyjim]

Ok for my first post...

 The only reason i have done this is because..
 
 I Can And i needed another toy in my man Cave
 
 Using:   i5, 2g, 300hdd, 19inch old lcd screen
 
 
 Took me a while to workout the layout of this, but in the end I did
 
 I started with finding this Print online
 
 
 
 
 
 I resized the image..
 
 And made a template more to my liking..
 
 
 screengrab
 
 
 I then over cut template on 6mm Mdf.
 
 Then used template and routed 16mm Mdf..
 
 
 free image host
 
 
 
 I then wrapped it with Kevlar 3d Vinyl wrap..:yup:
 
 image hosting 20mb
 
 
 
 
 The Fan cutouts..  Very Happy hows these turned out:veryhappy:
 
 photo storage
 
 
 Ok now the outside looks like this
 
 image upload no limit
 
 
 Now to start fitting it all, The Button Keypad, Monitor, Front panel + Marquee !!
 
 image url
 
 
 Now to start putting it together
 
 free image host
 
 image hosting 10mb limit
 
 Monitor placing now found..
 
 image free hosting
 
 image upload no compression
 
 
 Still have to put in few pieces..
 
 
 Thats the Build so far.
 
 Im going to have to make a part 2 because i can only post 15 pics in One post..
 
 Some Electronics in part 2
 
 - - - Updated - - -
 
 Part 2
 
 Some electronics to play with
 
 Then it was on to "how to" wire up the Mk6keypad to a Usb keyboard..
 This took me a bit of time, so im going to post this to help others..To make sense of this
 Keyboard mapping..
 
 image hosting 10mb limit
 
 
 And some of the stuff that will be going in to it..
 
 how to screenshot on windows

Hi Jumbyjim.  Welcome to 

Your project is looking really good!  You have a lot of talent and creativity.  Looking forward to seeing more pictures as your project progresses.  Sorry you had problems posting some of the them here.  There's a forum where you can report problems here: http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?board=2.0  I've had issues posting pictures a couple of time too, but usually just waiting a day or so and trying it again would work. 

Looking forward to seeing it in action when you're done with it!

I like it! I have built one myself to look like a round top IGT style with independent video screen in the upper portion and a 19 inch touch screen monitor for the games. I also added a one arm bandit on the side so you can either play with the arm, the touch buttons (also using a USB keyboard encoder) or the touch screen. Also added a 400watt sound system in it with a subwoofer.

I like seeing other people's idea on how they make their machines. In the past, I have made MAME arcade cabinets, Pinball cabinet and many other games. It is always a new learning experience each time. Kudos to your project!!

[Jumbyjim]

Thanks for the replys and the welcome..

bigdps I read your thread on your build it looks excellent, you are very smart..

Ok i try and post some more pics.

Fitting the screen



I put foil on the inside of marquee





And the started wiring up the keypad









Then i thought ide do a led light check








Now to fit the Pc and power supply


Hopefully i get more time to work on it tomorrow..

Cheers

Doesn't an infinity mirror add a magical touch to the project? I had added one for the top of my bar and had dream lights left over and decided to add them in as well. Only problem is that when I adjust the scan rate of the lights, somehow it ended up being the same frequency as my bar top so I have to turn one or the other off and do the adjustment. Never both at the same time. LOL

[sirius7]

What software are you going to use in this?

[jay]

Looks cool but can you define an infinity mirror.

[Jumbyjim]

Ok time for an Update..

Hey bigdps do you have a thread with pics of your bar top and some of your other builds?? I would really like to see them..

What software are you going to use in this?

I am going to use the Mk6 Emulator with the 122 Aristocrat roms i have..


I managed to get some more done today..

Finished fitting the Pc and wiring



Then i stuck on the El tape





And now it was time for a test.



As you can see i have to wire up the bottom+monitor leds into a individual power supply.
I will also be wiring the infinity light up to a individual power supply.
The infinity light has its own remote control so i can change colours,dimm,flash,turn it on or off..

Now for a software and keyboard test..







Now to Fix those Leds and install infinity light..

I also have Kodi installed on this machine which will also be a Video Jukebox.
I will be sitting this on a stand with a Logitech Sub a 4 speakers built inside the stand.
It should pack a punch when the Music is going..

Ok thats it for now.

Cheers

[bigdps]

When I get a chance, I'll post the end results of a few builds as I never really kept any pics of what I built.

[Jumbyjim]

Got it nearly finished today..

Yep im Retired:)


Finished installing the pc.



And fixed the Led lights..



Then I installed front panel "infinity mirror" and
Marquee lights (2 rows of 550 Ultra white Leds) with a switch on the back to be able to turn off marquee if I want..




Then i screwed the back on with hinges to get access to Motherboard



I havent made the stand yet, But had to bring it inside..





Jarvis Video jukebox running






Now to Build the stand with Logitech sub and speakers inside..

Looking at your build, I almost want to build a new machine to do whatever I want it to do! Looks nice.

Right now, I am in the process of setting up our Christmas display to raise money for Make A Wish. But after December, I could see myself build something just to use up my leftover PC parts. Great way to recycle and have fun with it!

[Jumbyjim]

I have wanted to add Video Poker..

I think i may have worked something out.

Running Andy Android emu and Ruby seven Video Poker





And then Hopefully use this to Keymap the Buttons

That's the problem with building our own toys. There is never an end to it as you just keep adding more bells and whistles as you go along.

[Jumbyjim]

You got that right    

[Jumbyjim]

This machine is purely "ENTERTAINMENT VALUE ONLY"

 It is just software in the end. With my build around it.
 If you look hard enough you can find this software...Anywhere!!

ENTERTAINMENT VALUE ONLY

No Money..

I do not want to close this thread!!!

And I will Not..
