Arcade in a Box
« on: November 01, 2014, 06:18:15 PM »
a customer came in today and he wanted me to build him a arcade control box with a xbox built into it with a 1tb hdd and he wants to be able to use controllers aswell as the arcade sticks.he wants to be able to just plug it into the tv and play.so i started it today here is what ive done so far.
.im useing red and blus led push buttons
.cut the wood to size and the plexi glass
.built the box to hold it all and routed the edges to make a nice round surface.
.next i will use wood filler and give the hole box a good sanding then paint it.
.i still have to wire everything up will have a update soon.
