My Home Server - update #2, making the shell
MCE, WSS October 29th, 2007After a day of cutting, glueing and and drilling, the cabinet is beginning to take shape and looking pretty good.
Only this morning, I started with a couple sheets of MDF/plywood and a jigsaw. By lunchtime I had the outline of an arcade machine:
And this afternoon, I have this:
Not bad for a day’s effort — I’m really impressed with my progress so far. There are still a few remaining panels to cut out and glue. We have rain and thunderstorm here in Brisbane at the moment, so trying to keep everything dry is slowing me down. I’m not sure if I’ll get too much more done this weekend.
I’ll try and do some more during the week after work. If I make some good progress I’ll jam together another update before I fly out to Seattle on Saturday.
Keep you posted.

Good luck for your project. I completed mine a little while ago and this works great. The kids (and me!!!!) are having a ton of fun. I based my work on http://www.arcadeparadise.org/arcade/ap3/. Let me know if you need any tips :)
