    Pro Tip: if you really want that cabinet to last, put coat of PVA glue on every square millimeter of MDF, let dry throughly, sand smooth, and repeat a second time. Wood glue works. Do this BEFORE installing any hardware. It will prevent the MDF from absorbing moisture or soaking up water in the event of a minor flood.

    • @TheGeekPub
      @TheGeekPub 6 годин тому

      We find that a good oil-based primer and paint does a great job. Its certainly much less effort. What you mention definitely works, but it takes a lot of time, and then the wood has to be sanded and finished again. And if you don't apply it to all four sides it really won't make any substantial difference.

    I was able to follow directions and have both my micro sd card and usb working. I have my USB stick configured with the folders and roms. There were a few roms that I put on the USB stick that don't work and I tried to delete them and they still stay on retropie system for some reason. I noticed I deleted the game roms on the USB stick but they're still there. Thoughts?

    Thanks, @TheGeekPub! Bought your plans, parts, etc. Put together an amazing table for my girlfriend. She's wanted a Ms PacMan for a long time. Nostalgia from her days of going to Pizza Hut and playing as a child. It turned out REALLY well (and gave me an excuse to buy some new tools). A couple of modifications for anyone interested. The USB speakers were no longer available, so I ended up using some BOSS B653 car speakers and a Kinter K3118. For the monitor I had read that the Dell 2007FPB 20 inch was a great monitor for an application like this. Bought one on ebay. Otherwise followed the plans closely. The one mistake I may fix is I should have used the glass as the outline for the top rather than the printed plans. The glass I bought is sized a bit bigger. That's on me for not measuring twice. 🙂 Girlfriend loves it. You made me a hero!

    Just a quick Question for chargers. I'm building a 9V battery iPhone charger and I want to use a usb connector as the output. Since I'm doing it from scratch, I'm building all the parts myself. One USB connector in particular has a VCC and GND pin but it also has a D+ and D- as well as SHELL pins. What do these mean and I'm wondering if I should just ground the data pins if its just for a charger.

      When making tutorials, we have to start at the lowest common denominator. In 90% of the cases its an unnecessary step. But then there will be that one guy that has a system recovery USB stick with hidden partitions on it that will say our tutorial doesn't work because his drive won't image.
