Racing Cabinet Almost Completed


Waiting on a Z906 sound system I ordered from Logitech which is THX certified and should really work great. Also need to mount the spoiler and apply the graphics which I'm still working on but here is the fully working cabinet, with a butt kicker gamer, PS3, G27, and television. All wires are run out of sight.

Racing Cabinet Painted



Racing cabinet is all dissassembled for painting. Went with a gun metal grey since black would have made it look way too big. Paint is turning out well and should be completed shortly.

0-60 Need For Speed Racing Cabinet Nearly Completed



Here's a picture of the racing cabinet nearly completed, this piece slides into the hood to complete the cabinet and then only the spoiler needs to be attached.

Seat should work well, can be adjusted forward and back and also tilts, the wheel mount is also very adjustable so should accomodate all sizes.

Big Bang Bar Pinball


Didn't really document the build but here is a Big Bang Bar Virtual Pinball I built using Hyperspin as the front end.

Plays nice with a 7 solenoids, a shaker motor, and 3 cree RGBW LEDs for effects.

Happy with how the artwork came out, much brighter then my bride of pinbot original cabinet.

Side Panels for Racing Cabinet


Completed the racing cabinet side panels, lots of pieces but assembly is not to bad. Biggest pain of building this Racing Cabinet so far is all the strange dimensions you need requiring you to rip 2X4s and 1X3s ad nausea.

Racing Cabinet Hood


Completed the racing cabinet hood the other day, it's very large. To accommodate a 42 inch TV though there isn't much option. I could have reduced the side width I suppose but it makes a nice canvas for some racing art so I left it the way it was.

Should give really deafening acoustics with the 5.1 sound I plan for it.

I had to modify the design a bit so it could be assembled and disassembled easily, rather then being permanently affixed as it won't fit in any doors I know of. Certainly wouldn't go in the basement, I have it now so that the back pieces and shelf all come off for easy moving and to fit through doors.

Racing Cabinet


Inspired by the Need for Speed racing cabinet build, I've decided to recreate my own version. Pretty similar but will change a few things, and although I like the art on this cabinet will likely do something different.
