Finished 05/23/06.
Since ive been pretty busy lately, I didn't put much detail into the building progress of this jukebox so the project content will be brief.
After seeing my previous jukebox, the fam wanted one in the garage for drink night. They wanted a much smaller jukebox that would fit on the bench. Another request was to make it as cheap as possible. To save cost I used a Pentium II cpu and board I had laying around from an old Dell as the soul of the jukebox. I found the LCD Touchscreen on ebay which was listed as being "dim". I got the LCD Touchpanel cheap due to the darkness and it worked well since the jukebox was going to be used in a lowlight environment. To make the jukebox as small as possible, I made the cabinet around the motherboard, PSU, HD, Monitor and amplifier. The cabinet was constructed of 1/2" MDF which is cheap and easy to work with. To make it look good, I used some prefinished oak venier that was from a previous kitchen cabinet project and glued it to the exterior of the finished jukebox cabinet. The monitor trim was constructed using the same wood and technique as the original jukebox project.
Jukebox in its final destination.
