Not sure if this goes under a project but.. here it is… Kray's work is amazing.. I highly recomended Kray, he answered all my nob questions and gave me recommendations on what to use.. I received my kit on Friday and strated working on it.. I have never put anything together or painted so be gentle:)

Monitor
the Shmups guys recommended DELL U2414H IPS
Used 4 M4-0.7 30mm to mount HomeDepot
Kray recommends a monitor but it is a TN panel.

Amp and speakers Kray's recommendation

Joystick - kray has the model of the joystick and push buttons on the site. Focusattack
(Sanwa(JLF-TP-8YT) it will come with the plate.

use = 6 x 3/4" flat head wood screws Lowe's for the joystick

Ps360 - focusattack has videos on how to wire pretty much plug and play.. be very care with the USB wire that you use. For best result use a standard printer usb wire and connected to a USB 3.0 port if using a computer. The alienware has an issue reconigsing the PS360 because I use the USB cable from Focusatack and was plugging it into the USB 2.0 port. I upgraded to 1.66 firware and still having a minor issue, I have to unplut the PS360 from the Alienware and them plug it back to reconize it.. The Xbox 360 there is no issue.. The Xbox 360 will see the PS360 as an Xbox 360 controller.

Console and PC

For the marquee, CP and arts Kray will give you the link. Take the file to a FedEx store for printing, mine cost $45. I used out door banner paper, the marquee does not light up as much but it does the job.

For the paint I needed something simple to use and that I could retouch in the future when it gets dirty or something happens. The only drawback about stain is that it takes a long time to dry up, over 8 hours.

Paint/stain used = minwax wood finish gunstock 231 Lowe's
Sealer = Bulls eye shellac clear transparent. Lowe's

Other items
Black tape - to cover any gap from monitor to bezel so the light does not came out from the back.
Lowe's

Wood glue Lowe's

To make the round circles on the control panel = Walmart looks like a compass about $4 called x-ACTO compass paper cutter.

@Stomm thank you very much for the link. At some point I will add the graphics on top like he did. The Funny thing about my slim is, that in person it looks much better than the pictures, the pictures does not do the cab justice. I am very sure that the same can be said about Donovan's cab:)
 
Absolutely :thumbsup: I saw a clip on Youtube a long while back of someone using Logitech speakers doing a real nice mod incorporating them into the frame/bezel. I'll see if I can dig it up again.
 
@Gondar.. Thank you very much.. I am very happy it turned out so cool:)

@Stoomp...thank you!
