From bartop to fullcab

[webdiddy]

So.... I started out with a bartop arcade, I had a really hard time placing it somewhere in my apartment, even though it's smaller than a fullcab it's still takes up more space if that makes sense?

Any way, I have for a long time been thinking of mounting a track ball on my control panel the only problem was that the bartop control panel didn't have room for one. I started out building a bigger control panel, I then just built a box for the bartop to stand on, I also built a shelf inside the box so I could move the motherboard as the bartop was to packed, I built in an access panel in the back of the box so I easily could reach the motherboard.

I then just designed and printed new vinyl and there you have a make shift fullcab, looks way nicer much more simple to place in one spot.

All that's missing now is the coin door and brackets for the marquee.

So, what do you think people?

Love the art, but that CP is in no way close in proportion to your cab.

You put a full size CP on a lowboy style cab....

The CP seems to overpower the entire build.....

I know its hard to cram 2plr into and t-ball into a smaller CP, but it one of those teeter decisions, and you went from bartop to full arcade but tiny

Overall good very job though....

Yeah, wanting the trackball so badly I had to make some sacrifice to the the aesthetics. I personally don't think it looks that bad, I think it more gives it some originality.
