sessiondrummer Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ive been following this post since it first appeared on BR. I have been looking and scribbling some designs down my self.Instead of folding the screens down forward on top of the PC wing I think folding them backwards would would look a little better. No need for that little bit of foam then that is visible on the pic.Also what materials are you looking at using?? Got to say I hate the look of the wooden sides on the folding screen design!!What material was used on the console that looks like a single screen whole hog??

Dj Dunc Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 How about two 19" 1U monitor racks. Mount the whole thing into two 19" racks and put em side by side, or make one double one. http://cpc.farnell.com/adam-hall-hardware/...-100/dp/DP29491 hope this helps Dunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkiDonki Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I originally looked at rackmounting, but everything was getting bulky and heavy fast. I will build a rough version from mdf to start with, and when I'm happy with everything either build a more refined mdf jobbie or attempt to rope in help from someone skilled in other materials. (plastic & metal spring to mind) The one which looks like a Hog seems as though it is made from mdf with all the edges nicely routed - that is about the level of skill I can muster. (I have found some fantastic spray paint which gives a rubberised finish, should be good on the casing) I suspect my own efforts may end up being heavier and more medieval looking than I'd like, but having a go is half the fun of the project.

Any chance of a link to see this spray paint, Im quite interested. This paint will certainly give a better finish than mdf! How much are you up to with pricing now?? P.s just posted a link on the "chamsys £10 DMX dongle" post about using an ipod touch as a focus remote for any chamsys pc set up. defiantly worth a look for you! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 here's another one, this beast appears to have everything but the kitchen sink; anyone recognise the wings or the software? Courtesy of the babelfish translator: [:Clicky:] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are you up to with pricing now?? Here's the link to the paint, I haven't tried it yet but I'm hoping it will be similar to the "soft-touch" stuff you get on some mobile phones.Rubber paint As for cost, I'm aiming to keep the finished article to under £2k, so far I've spent about £1600.

DonkiDonki Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 I am interested to hear/see what rigs other MagicQ PC users have put together, anyone want to share details or even pics? If you have a look at our fan pages on facebook there are some pictures of the setups people have come up with for their ChamSys MagicQ systems which I have to say are quite good! Might give some inspiration. Ha ha! I finally looked at the Chamsys fanpages thanks to Alex's link and found some interesting setups, I must admit I didn't notice you were with Chamsys and when you said "our fan pages" I trawled through the blue room fan pages and couldn't find anything...

gareth Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 MagicQ PC Wing AUD$5400 RRP Really?! If my currency conversion is correct, that's well over 3,000 UK pounds - three times what I paid for my PC wing a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
