      This last week I'v been doing some major upgrades to my old SF2 wallcab, who's mainly collected dust in the basement since my mancave became a childs room last year.
      The cabs not very minimal anymore, but that was the point..
      Cropped it in the top and the bottom, made it lower, vinyl wrapped the entire thing, new led lights, a new Pi4 4gb, new chrome lists etc

      old version, the OG:

        hopefully I can show you some better pics when it's mounted on the wall with all the lights enabled and the sinden light gun installed. 😊

          Looks awesome! Nice job!
          So the idea is that the kids can just crawl up to it and start playing SFII even before they know how to walk!?! I approve! :D

                @Dipkid That is awesome. I loved the minimalist look before, but I love this redesign even more!
