Pixelbox

This page will be the final step-by-step guide and photo gallery for my Pixelbox micro arcade cabinet.

Pixelbox is a tiny, arcade game emulation cabinet. It will have most of the same capabilities as a full-sized arcade cabinet. The laser-cut acrylic box stands about 13" tall and is about 10" wide. The cabinet is powered by a 2GHZ Pentium M processor with 1 gig of RAM. The cabinet has a one-player control panel with Sanwa arcade parts and a Happ 1.5" trackball.

Here's a WIP image of the case:

In this picture, the LCD is plugged into my desktop system. I'm currently working on finishing the internals and artwork. More pictures and information coming soon!

Carl says:

This is very smart. Will it ever be on the market, and how much do you think it will cost to buy?

Steve says:

I’m going to try to follow in your footsteps on this one and build a mini cab. I’ll probably use the same Sanwa controls and Happ trackball. I’ll probably order some plastic and cut it with a router. And I think I’m going to hack an Eee PC for the guts of the case. One of the new 901 models would be about the same screen size as what you have there.

Excellent work on this project, though. Your design is top-notch. Very elegant.
