Opera Widget Arcade

A project by Opera Desktop Team

Second Coat

, , , , ,

Painting the cabinet Almost the entire team gathered together on Friday to add the final strokes to the arcade machine. George, Anders, Adam, Arjan and Alexander all worked together to finish the surface of the cabinet with the second layer of paint.

Some parts, like the keyboard door, were painted separately and reattached to the cabinet the next day, when the paint dried off. The machine stands in the Desktop Team office now, it's finished, and it helps us have these nice litte breaks while our code is compiling. We also want to make it look even cooler by adding some artwork, but more about that later.

hoi, har dere målene til selve kabinettet? jeg er i gang med prosjektet selv, og trenger noen gode kabinettmål, fordi det finnes så mange mål på nettet som er fullstendig overkill i størelse! :)

Translation: Hello, do you have the measurements for the cabinet itself? I'm involved in such a project myself, and need some good measurements, because many of those found on the Internet are complete overkill in size! :smile:

Reply: We used these drawings: http://files.myopera.com/feldgendler/blog/galagads.pdf. They don't have the sizes for the monitor mounting, but that needs to be adjusted for your particular monitor. Good luck with the project!
