Didn't take too long, I think about 3 weeks from when I started, but I mostly only worked on it on the weekends. Maybe 50 hours or so I would guess.
Cabinet is painted currently a gun metal grey color, it's made from MDF so looks like plywood otherwise.
I'm working on the art for the sides now, going with vinyl printed decals and will make it look something like this but changing the graphics a lot:

Added the rear spolier and z906 speaker system. Speakers sound great only issue is when you output audio on multiple outputs with the PS3 (analog and optical) the optical signal quality is reduced. Not sure there is a way around it since I need the multi outputs to drive the buttkicker and there is no way to tie into the subwoofer since it does not run off a cable.
Yeah the significant others aren't huge fans of these big cabinets, but as long as I keep it in the basement she doesn't get too upset. That cabinet is a mame cabinet, and I have a couple pinballs as well. The builds are documented here for those retrocadespot.blogspot.com
GT5 is pretty sweet on this rig although I'm loving Dirt2, that game is plain addictive.

Sweet project, so are these vinyl stickers being printed by a print shop from your own image files, or you purchasing pre-made one online somewhere then cutting them to size??
A good idea I'm just thinking of, for the interior panels right next to the screen, would be to buy this black felt-like material used in home-theater applications, which absorbs light reflection (don't know the proper name for the stuff).... seems like it would be bothersome if left bare painted or a covered by a shiny vinyl sticker.

, although he then referred to "her" in non-plural format... kind of blew the potential mystery right there.

TV does support audio output but the hdmi to the TV isn't carrying sound since I have the PS3 running optical to the logitech z906 stereo system, and just video going over the HDMI. I dual output on the PS3 so analog audio to the buttkicker.
I'm going to see if I can find a switch maybe since I don't want to wire up a receiver for this.

The decals I will probably get printed in the US from a place called gameografix used them for my pinballs and they were good price and looked great. Art I am making in photoshop, based off of the need for speed games.
Usually i use illustrator but want this to be more photo realistic.

Try this:
1. Set the PS3 to enable 5.1 and multi output.
2. Use Hdmi to your Tv include audio setting.
3. The audio out from your Tv can be connected to your Buttkicker using combined stereo into its mono input.
4. Connect the Optical cable output from PS3 to your Logitech speakers.
The PS3 should give digital output to HDMI & OPTICAL although limited to 5.1
Hope it helps.
Was thinking that the new Test Drive Ferrari game might of been a great showcase title for a cabinet, though not sure if your fond of Ferrari.

Theirs no digital input on the Buttkicker only mono RCA/PHONO so you cant take a digital pass through from your TV to the Buttkicker.
PS3 supports dual 5.1 I believe it does not support 7.1 in multi audio out as it states this when selecting it.
Your Logitech speakers only support Dolby Digital & DTS so are not using uncompressed PCM audio anyways.
Do not use analogue out on PS3 use HDMI & OPTICAL as recommended.
Many of us use dual 5.1 output this way for surround sound and multichannel tactile configurations from PS3.

Ah that makes sense about the buttkicker I'll give that a try. I'll use optical and hdmi and then run audio to the buttkicker. Maybe i won't need to run multi outputs that way as a setting on the PS3 or maybe I'll still have to but I'll give it a try.
Not having a door is a bit of a pain but I put the seat back and it's not too bad.
