My lighting is rubbish atm , but to give you a idear with some bad red cold cathod tubes here you. they don't relay give it enough effect and it took 50 pics before i got a few to look oky ...
Ill be getting some much strong Leds later on to test it out better.
this shot came out really wired but looks unreal ...
As per req via pri messages and all so some other forums here some dubious pics of the innards of the control panel. Its not perfect by any means but i know were every thing belongs and what every thing does. all I need to add into the cp now is 2 more lights and all so a xbox 360 controller for wireless xbox remote. What you can see how ever is several converters , blue tooth for the Wii remote's and all so Hidden amount it all is a duel band links USB fob. I still need to order another 16 out put Leds controller as i have another 10 lights to fit which i haven't done just yet and some other small bits and bobs to finish off. This will all be sealed once it is finished to stop any trailing wire (all though im making there is none any way)..
Any way here you go for now.
There is a hell of a lot of system controls and various other parts crammed into a very small place.
Oky last 48 hours i been hammering away at this thing to get the Cp in a near finished state. Tomorrow ill start work on the back box. Here are some more pics and Vid of the Cp working. some one posted saying the music to the Vid (not on this forum) was set up and it wasn't in sync thinking that the Leds are all pre programmed and not to music sooo ... ive posted a new vid to to null and void that point.
All so updated some pics of the Cp showing the lighting on the cp with the perspex now lit up. that all so goes to music but i forget to turn it on in the vid. You can see the lighting much better in life than what a cheap £50 camera can record but hay that's life i cannot afford to do this and by a camera at the same time.
Some of us are currently out of work hehe ...
p.s thks for the heads up tom on linking vids.
i will now start working on the back box for the system so there wont be many updates now as that is going to take all my time up....
First off you can see the Cp is being tested and the best way to test give it to the family and let them lose .... lol. mrs pac man getting tested on the 4 way.
My lass's score has increased so it defiantly working with the dedicated 4 way joy stick she could never get onto more than level 6. she managed level 15 ... so she's happy (she wont be if she see's these pics though lol)
notice the sticky finger prints all over all ready lol ...
Some pics of the back box being worked on. Ive drilled 3 holes for the 120mm fans to cool the Consoles down there will be another 3 on the other side to. one thing i learnt with c-macc's 1 was that consoles just create if not more heat than a pc and enclosing them forces the temperature to abnormal levels if not ventilated correctly so we have sold that problem before it even arises.
The reason why the holes look more forward is there is a 1" false wall to hide the cabling to the system and i need the holes to give good air flow hence they are in the middle of the shelf now the back box.
