Ahoi folks!
Before i start i have some infos for you!
– I never did woodwork before. This was the first time I have used
tools like the jigsaw. So it is not perfect.
– I used a tutorial from instructables.com (from user rolfbox) and
put not really a massive amount of time in it. (Without waiting
for the parts the working time was about 1-2 Days.)
– The paint job is not the best, but this was my first time ever
with spray-cans.
Ok, here are a few pics and a list of parts and costs. The Marquee is not finished (I have to wait for the plexiglas.)
Part List & Prices:
MDF-Wood – 16 Euro
Raspberry – 10 Euro (got it cheap from a friend.)
17-Inch TFT Monitor – 5 Euro from a yard sale
4 Lead Extension with Fuse – Was lying around. (You get them from 5 Euro up)
Raspberry Heatsinks – 3 Euro
Wlan Stick – 8 Euro (Was flying around here for months.)
Ultracabs XinMo 2 Player Joysticks + 18 Buttons + USB Shield – about 60 Euro
HDMI-VGA Adapter – 10 Euro on Amazon
Spraycans (Grey Primer and Metallic Red) – about 20 Euro
Woodglue – (Since i do a lot of papercrafting i had 20 pounds lying around.)
Marquee-Plexi Glas cost 4 Euro at a local plexi-glass trader. I have to wait about 2 days. (GNARRRGH!)
LED Light Strip 10 Euro from Amazon
Total cost about 145 Euro. (Thats really acceptable!)
Here are some pics:
To Do:
Install Marquee & LED Light Strips
Install Gamepad Holder behind Marquee (I plan to make the marquee like a door to store two SNES Controllers behind. So that you can flip it up and insert or take out the controllers. I already made 2 SNES Wireless Controllers a few months ago.)
Cabinet-Grafics: It will not stay only red, but the decoration comes at last. :)
Iam open for suggestions and feedback!
awsome! thats a real great start!
