I was wondering if you guys saw ant problem with the design.

Overall it looks good.
But I gotta ask, why the 6-buttons CP with a vertically mounted monitor? Are their any vertical games that utilize 6 buttons? Or is your emulator set to split and rotate the image for both ends?
I'm not sure I'm too thrilled about not having t-molding, or a coin-door...these are 2 things that I believe are vital for an arcade cab.

This is as "easy" as I can go...
Being 17 means you're probably in your senior year of High school right? Then you should have developed thick-skin by now to take a bit of criticism from a bunch of arcade geeks. Meet it head-on man, people you encounter in life are going to be harsh and you can't expect them to be as nice as us ;)

Looks nice! :cheers: Six buttons for a vertical setup seems like overkill, though.
So I take it your parents weren't arcade fans back in the day, huh? You couldn't fire up some of their old favorites and convince them to let you keep it?
quadrider1:
well six buttons because i do have the screen split for some games like mortal combat and so on, and i tried everything to keep it. Reason for no coin door is because my price range, but if i ever make another one then i will take that advice and add one. Since i have to sell it then what do you guys think it could sell for, is 800 to much?

Seems a little high for the starting price
