    CNC controller in arcade game cabinet.

    This is not really a CNC controller cabinet, but a photoshop paste over. This is how I want to set up my control panel.
    You can tell I am a kid of the eighties.

    I was hoping for someone to design this cabinet in an autocad program and then spit it out in DFX and post it on this site.
    I was thinking that others might want to make the same thing.

    Because I am new to CAD, I dont think I could draw this.

    Thanks to anyone who wants to take up the challenge.

    Vacpress........while you are doing nothing..........

    If you were wondering about the speakers, they are for noise cancelling.

    EDIT: I was thinking about a dual screen option too. The other screen showed the view of the cutting tip via a web cam.

    Should have scaled that keyboard up a bit before you over-layed it on the panel..

    Ferenczyg......dont sniff, you can still play the original games on your computer with a free program called MAME.
    You can download it from here. http://www.mame.net/ you will have to hunt the net for the rom files to put into MAME though. If you cant find any Roms I could sent you 1 or 2 out of the 1000s I've got. Its a real trip down memory lane.



    avsfan733.......I guess the 3 sticks could be used for each axis......Its up to the builder.

    Rekd..... Yes I know but if i made it any bigger it was going to cover the buttons. I am aware that the keyboard has let down the picture, but i settled for accepting it was still describing the concept. Here is the original picture if you are interested in seeing the changes. I am not that good with Photoshop but am proud of how I got rid of the piano and coin door.

    Actually I have found the dimentions for this cabinet in pdf form.
    That would make conversion to DFX a bit easier. You can get them from here. http://www.russprince.com/cabinet/design.html
