I thought i might post my Poker Machine build..
This is my first ever attempt of making a "Arcade Machine" So I call it..
The only reason i have done this is because..
I Can And i Love to Build something Different.
Using: i5, 2g, 300hdd, win7 19inch old lcd screen
Took me a while to workout the layout of this, but in the end I did
I started with finding this Print online
I resized the image..
And made a template more to my liking..
Using 6mm Mdf.
Then used template and routed 16mm Mdf..
I then wrapped it with Kevlar 3d Vinyl wrap..
The Fan cutouts.. Very Happy hows these turned out
Ok now the outside looks like this
Now to start fitting it all, The Button Keypad, Monitor, Front panel + Marquee !!
Now to start putting it together
Monitor placing now found..
Still have to put in few pieces..
Thats the Build so far.
Im going to have to make a part 2 because i can only post 15 pics in One post..
Some Electronics in part 2
In part 2..

Looking to be a nice build, but I always wonder what happens if the monitor dies and you would have to find a replacement EXACTLY the same size...
Those TCL monitors are not the best quality you know.
Thanks GT250 for your comments..Very Good thought
Lucky i have three in back room
I managed to get some more done today..
Finished fitting the Pc and wiring
Then i stuck on the El tape
And now it was time for a test.
As you can see i have to wire up the bottom+monitor leds into a individual power supply.
I will also be wiring the infinity light up to a individual power supply.
The infinity light has its own remote control so i can change colours,dimm,flash,turn it on or off..
Now for a software and keyboard test..
Now to Fix those Leds and install infinity light..
I also have Kodi installed on this machine which will also be a Video Jukebox.
I will be sitting this on a stand with a Logitech Sub a 4 speakers built inside the stand.
It should pack a punch when the Music is going..
Ok thats it for now.

Here is a quick vid testing the keypad
You've done a great job building it. Where'd you get the pokie software ?
Good stuff, I always enjoy threads where someone is building something.
loopyloo, pokies software has been floating around for years, I can remember some was posted up for download here a few years back.

Got it nearly finished today..
Finished installing the pc.
And fixed the Led lights..
Then I installed front panel "infinity mirror" and
Marquee lights (2 rows of 550 Ultra white Leds) with a switch on the back to be able to turn off marquee if I want..
Then i screwed the back on with hinges to get access to Motherboard
I havent made the stand yet, But had to bring it inside..
Jarvis Video jukebox running
Now to Build the stand with Logitech sub and speakers inside..
Thanks Loopy I will Pm you..
Ok heres a vid of Kodi "Jarvis"
Thanks Admin I love to build, I already made a Race sim pod G27 upgraded springs with adjustable seat "I ripped out of my sons VL" to accommodate everyone..
Hooked up to a Ps3 Gt6 with $50,000,000 to begin with..
Ive lost all the build pics when my pc crashed..
I can take some pics of the finished product though..
If anyone wants to see it??
Cheers
Yeah for sure ... put the pics up.
I've owned 3 mechanical pokies at different times. The last one was a major rebuild. Paid $20 for it, cost me around $400 to make it like new then sold it for a really tidy sum. Awesome project. I learnt pretty much everything about how they work and how to adjust them. Even had to manufacture some parts for the repair cos you can't buy them.
By the way, I replied to your PM.

Great build.
Does it have any of the coin or money handling features?
Or is it just purely a Video Game?
Ive always wondered where the line is with the Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulations.
I suspect it has to do with the ability to take and dispense currency in relation to "Gambling".
This story i found interesting
Not to distract from your work and great build you've done
There are 2 Aristocrat EGM's sitting collecting dust on a clients property, i'd always been interested to take a closer look at them.
