So over the past few weekends I undertook to make a touch screen jukebox for my bar area.
Why?
Well I use to have an iPod that we used for out the back for parties, this iPod took a tumble from the fridge, and I saw a touch screen going cheap. I therefore consulted with the boss lady and she was more excited than I was at the idea of building a jukebox.
With a lot of help from Snoweagle (Rob) we are at paining stage and still loading our songs (90,000 of them)
But thought some of you may like to look at what we have been doing, its been a fun project and I have learned tons and tons!
Let me know if you want any details of software etc.
It has disco lights which are standard Red, Green, Yellow and Blue chasers, which go to the beat of the music. The speaker area is back lit by UV black lights (Cold cathode, powered by the PC) so the speaker cloth glows blue.
It stands free and has taken some shape

We have a screen and the ghost of the speaker frame

Ready for painting
