Picked up a Chewlix from a friend, I needed something to play newer games and wanted an easy to rotate vertical cabinet. I am typically CRT only but this has been a really pleasant surprise. I have already changed out the monitor, speakers, art, etc. Figured it may be helpful for anyone looking to do a rebuild, since this parts list is a little more current than what I found searching. Still adding, prob going to run some LEDs in the top artwork, need some black screws, small stuff.
Starting Point -
Now -
Monitor - LG 32GP850-B/32GP83B-B- $250 , I got the 32GP83B-B it is missing BFI , USB Ports, and 15hz vs the 32GP850 but it cost 240 vs 400. IPS, since I am playing vertical I wanted good viewing angle.
How I mounted the Monitor (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LB4R7GM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) - $10
Speakers - Dayton Audio PC83-4 3" Full-Range Poly Cone Driver - 40 + shipping - be aware my chewlix all the speakers for soldered on the spades
Controls - 2 x Brook Zero Pi easy - $25 each - I am only doing Mister and PC so these were a cheap easy way in
Vertical Mounts - 40 shipped from China - only person I could find that had these were Chino Chan on FB vewlix groups, he was great to deal with
Left Sub Panel - 48 shipped - got from Chino Chan when I ordered the Mounts, i like his version doesn't have a lot of text
Volume Control USB to PC - $10 - I remove the massive knob and printed one - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807282628629.html
Right Sub Panel - 3D printed, I need to round the corners more, but its fully customizable, I have a headphone output and usb plug in it now. I can post the blank file, it snaps into place, no screws needed
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KGMJ5N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) - Headphone adapter
Control Panel Lighting - $9 - dont put leds on the sides, it causes massive hotspots no matter how dim
- cheap LED strip with dimmer (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SPZ2HGT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title)
Art from SellSellSell - 30 + shipping - (https://www.arcade-projects.com/thr...ated-29-sep-2024-initial-d-arcade-ver-3.3935/)
Sleeves from SellSellSell - 30 + shipping - (https://www.arcade-projects.com/thr...ated-29-sep-2024-initial-d-arcade-ver-3.3935/)
Magnetic Tape for Art - $7 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM5LXYLC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Fans - Noctua - $13 for bottom - (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KF7P34G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title)
Top Fans were 120MM - I used scicles I had laying around much quieter
I also rewired the fans so that I can plug new fans in and used much quieter ones
CRT Geom has come a long way!
