| Got a bit derailed, finally finishing up the bartop |
| (1/1) |
| Charlie97L:
Hey guys. I got derailed by various house repairs, but I'm finally back to finish the bartop for my (now) wife. I have all/most of the "arcade" hardware, and I'm going to be using a 3.0GHz Intel single core. Mostly really classic games, I think street fighter II/tmnt/simpsons would likely be the most demanding game that would run. I have a 19" lcd ready to go. Now, the main thing I need help with is a bartop kit. I don't have access to any woodworking tools, so this has to be pretty plug and play. Can you recommend a kit? Preferably one with a monitor mount included, again, I don't really have access to woodworking stuff here in DC. I want to be able to have a joystick - six player buttons - joystick setup, as the wife loves pac man and prefers to control that with her right hand, unlike most games... do you think that's a good layout? Thanks! Charlie |

Here is a tread for a bartop I built using a kit from PeteDiak in the buy and sell forum. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=106496.0 |

Thanks. I was initially planning on using the MAMEROOM kit. I have like, zero power tools or room to do stuff like that in our townhouse. Was the PeteDiak kit really plug in play or did you have to do a lot of fiddling? |
| BobA:
Not really any fiddling but I had to do my own CP and decide if I wanted switches and fan on the back. You will have to figure that out on almost any cab you build. |
