ThereIs0nly0ne Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I'm about to start a new project build for more modern Steam games and will post that here once complete. Just signed up to Bigbox and this forum as a consequence and will be messing around with configuring it as the build progresses. In the meantime, I figured I'd share my DIY Vewlix.

ThereIs0nly0ne Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Posting progress on my latest build here - it's modular (splits into 4 parts) and has swap-able control panels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaysArcade Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Wow, this is pretty nice. I've built a few cabinets in my time but this is next level stuff. Looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now going to in the main living space (for now) so it should integrate with the decor better than a traditional cabinet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereIs0nly0ne Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 The mid section (with the DIY speaker grill) is now done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereIs0nly0ne Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I just wanted to have a peak at what the marquee and mid-section would look like so just balenced one on the other. I am currently preparing the spacer that goes in between the two. The weather has been awful so I've not been able to make as much progress as I'd like. I did manage to cut the control panel acrylic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Looks great. What are the button combinations going to be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of an unusual combination as the first control panel will be used for Steam twin-stick shooters. I've used 2 u360FS analogue sticks and a standard gamepad board and configured it in Vjoy as a virtual joystick. I've then used Steam's interface to map it out to an XBox controller. Here's the prototype I built which I tested out for a couple of weeks to make sure I was happy with the layout. The two buttons on each stick are mapped to the trigger and bumper pad buttons. The cluster of 4 on the left are A, B, X and Y. The right hand buttons are mapped to the direction hat.

ThereIs0nly0ne Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Loosely assembled - just wanted to make sure it's looking as I'd hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Forget the cab...what are those sweet-looking floorstanding speakers in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereIs0nly0ne Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 They're a pair of KEF Reference 3's - had them for a while. Great speakers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereIs0nly0ne Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Control panel filled, sanded and primed, There'll be a bit more to do to get some of the angles consistent across the front, angled pieces. I'll need to sand back the 'furry' bits of MDF once it's dry to get it nice and flat. Like the other cabinet sections, the intention is to make this look like its been carved out of a single piece of wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereIs0nly0ne Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I still need to do some minor finishing and add a couple more coats of paint to the CP but here's the current state of affairs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
