Vs: Vewlix-inspired 76" projector setup [Planning]
MikeDeuce:
An update (55" RPTV -> 76" Projector) to my weekend project from a couple weeks back made me realize big screens are full of win. I also like the direction the youths are going these days with the modern, Japanese-influenced cabinets, so I've decided to give that a go.
Requesting input on some color schemes... the grey that is consistent across all schemes will be acrylic so I can play with a little backlighting (and a gazillion led-wizeseses).

Idea for a base... not digging it too much:
Wrap-around piano hinge = open CP:
emphatic:
It looks to me like you're gunning for a stand-at height rather than the Vewlix' sitdown height? I don't play fighter games myself, so I don't have a preference for standing/sitting, but for all other arcade games, sitting down is a much nicer position IMHO. If you go for that, make sure you have lots of leg room. Also, this looks very nice! :applaud:
Rick:
Holy heck, who DOESN'T love the yellow/white affair? That... ...is inspiring.
SpaceHedgehog:
Gotta love Vewlix style builds. I do like the classic red scheme but there's also a blue one which looks cool. Have to agree with emphatic about the sitting down position, especially for fighting games.
Rick:
I have to emphatically disagree with the sitting down position. If you are adequately caffeinated, and into your game, you need to be standing up! I remember seeing stools in (very few) arcades when I was growing up, and thought that it defeated the whole purpose.
;) ;D
