My 21st Century 4 player Showcase Cabintet! --UPDATED PICS AT BOTTOM
JRoz:
hey good advice, I got my whole showcase cabinet as well but just took the podium section. I would have done the same thing except i'm here in NYC and space isnt exactly a luxury haha. I wanted to go with the slim look and now the middle portion has really put it together. I agree I can't go to large..its a 32" lcd so the equivalent 4:3 size is roughly 26/27"s. Thats what I thought the originals were, maybe a little smaller. IF anything i'd upgrade to a 37 if i found a great deal. Good luck with your set up though..yours should look real legit

yeah no joke. I threw away my showcase podium with a huge panel like that :dunno dont have room in my new place. build a slim vewlix cabinet instead...
JRoz:
Whats a vewlix cabinet?...the set up I have now is perfect for my place..actually I have tons of space on both sides of it, and actually if i wanted to go over board I could fit a full size showcase in their. At this point though I'm only considering the following upgrades.
plexi for the panel - if I ever get time to cut 100 damn button holes!
larger LCD - 42 max if i can find a good deal
Definite upgrade - LED lights for marquee

Haha. . one of these: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=95907.160
Funnily enough I'm planning a Showcase Cabinet to go with it! As everyone has said, a bigger monitor would be good but it still looks great.
JRoz:
hmm I need to figure out what i'm doing for my marquee. As you can see I need to build it from scratch. Right now I basically having it sitting in a thin picture frame with plexi-glass in front of it haha. Any ideas? Should I just make a slim box for it to sit in and have some LED lights behind it?
