Chewlix home conversion?

Post by Namhas »

I've had two of these. I think they're fantastic for the price.

I'm wondering if there is any down side to gutting the whole thing, and dropping in a new monitor and power and basically finalizing it as a home use jamma and console/pc machine?
There are some janky exposed terminals and other bits that are inside, and the amp and speakers are not great (they work fine, just not great).

I mainly use this for my only 2 CPS2 boards and pc/console, so I'd need to figure out the monitor replacement, and then whatever amp/dac to get sound sorted.

Any thing to watch out for?
Any suggestions on monitors?
Any fixes that should be done to improve quality of life? (I gotta set it up to turn on/off from the outside)


I was inspired to finally do something after watching this guy.
