Made a fully enclosed 4-slot Consolized MVS. Pics!

loopyeddie · Feb 3, 2006

Well, I made this for a friend. I suck at painting, so my friend did it himself (very well I might add). I built case out of 1/2" MDF. It has heat vents on the bottom, but doesn't really get hot. Well, what do you think? The items on the back are (left to right): Audio/Video outs, coin button, dimmer switch, pause switch, freeplay switch, power, PSU input. ON WITH THE PICS:

Besides maybe painting the exposed metal panels (top and back), i think it looks pretty damn nice.

Where did you source that s-video jack from?

I <3 green.

That thing looks amazing

loopyeddie · Feb 3, 2006

Oh, I forgot to mention that everything is recessed enough so it can sit on any side without damaging anything.

I need a fully enclosed MVS case made for my 2-slot Consolized MVS unit because I don't want my 2-lsot to get damaged and I want it to last a very long time too. Can you paint it metallic purple because that is the color of it.

Fantastic! job my friend.

let's hope, you didn't sand the edges by hand. that would have taken ages ...

otherwise, as Todd said ... i'd have had the metal cover powdered, but it looks way nice as it is.

Very creative work man and it looks amazing :buttrock:

I hate to be such a downer, but those A/V jacks are improperly spaced. It's really just a technicality, but I try to always follow the standard spacing when doing this kind of thing. You never know when someone might have a retarted cable with the jacks fixed in relation to each other (glued together).

Eat a dick :lol:

Eddie the case is sweet ass , I hope you used a router? :buttrock:

Superfamifreak · Feb 3, 2006

That's a sweet ass system there. If I ever have to get rid of the cab, I think I'll get something like that. I think it would look amazing in pure white.

Do you mean the order of the RGB? Because that would make more sense than what you said.

Very very nice work Eddie!

Eddie,

That is fantastic; great looking unit. I really like the corners/edges.

loopyeddie · Feb 3, 2006

yeah, I used a router on everything. I'll post pics of construction. As far as the spacing of the jacks or order, I didn't really care. Maybe I should have, but I'm not a picky bastard! Hahaha. I don't even think there is a standard order for the RGB because I have devices with different orders. But oh well, whatever. I'll get some pics in a few minutes of the construction.

loopyeddie · Feb 3, 2006

Okay, here are the build pics. I guess this is going to turn into a regular "How to build your own" thread! Here you go:

Here is my awesome 1st mock up:

Here is the pro layout!:

The nails are just wedged in til the glue dries:

Built jigs for perfect square cutouts:

There. Now go build your own!

le geek · Feb 3, 2006

Nice work Eddie! :buttrock:

Now post my damned inserts! :kekeke:

Cheers,

Looks great. How did you keep the paint from soaking into the wood? That finish looks extra smooth.

Hippo · Feb 3, 2006

Looks great fucking "Neo-Geo" Bob Vila shit. You could have a T.V show

Thats already a porno.

Badass work man, I'm jealous! Now quit selling all your MVS carts! [just sell painted shells for 2 and 4 slots]

Escape-To-88 · Feb 3, 2006

Nice work, looks great. Like the forest green!
