Wow! It looks like it's been over a month since I've done anything on The Arcade. Well, I haven't been home for a weekend in a long while. It was nice to get back to work. Moving on to arcade stuff. I sanded a little off the keyboard drawer so now it slides much easier. I attached the front of the draw with cabinet door snaps for now. You can't open the drawer with the front or you pull it right off. I can either make the drawer still slide easier, or attach the front in a more permanent way. Don't know the resolution quite yet.
I also added a power button on the side near the top of the unit. I used the light-up push button for this, so it looks pretty cool when you turn it on, and from the side you can easily see that the PC is indeed on. Also I wired the lights on the coin slots to the power of the PC. It makes it easy since the light-up push button and coin slots take 12V DC, I just used the 12V DC coming right from the PC power supply.
Finally I received the monitor frame a few weeks ago and I cut it to fit today. I'm not sure how I'm going to turn the TV on once I mount it, but I'm thinking of extending the receiver on the TV so I can use the remote.
Oh, I also mounted the marquee light. Let me tell you, my marquee better be close to black because this light is about as bright as the Sun. Use the same precautions, don't stare into the light!
