(1/3) > >>
rmusick:
Hi everyone,  I just got approved to this site last week.  I must say I have learned quite a lot the last few weeks about the video game industry, so much that I want to build a cabinet so bad I can't stand it.  I had it lined up to get a Dragons lair/Space ace cabinet..Need it work bad, but I think it fell through, have not heard back from the guy.  I was really wanting to redo that sucker.  Anyway, does anyone know where I can find a good set of plans for a DL/SA cabinet?  I looked all over the sites, and found a few places, Jakobud, but someone said they are not accurate, too bad lot of great ideas there.  Then there was a site-Can't think of the name i know it has 0catch in the URL, but it seems to be out of business when I try to buy.  Lastly there was this site in Michigan that sold templates, but I read some bad stuff about it too.. So where do I go?
Thanks for help here any future advice that you Pros can give this new-by  rookie.  ;D

Jakobud would have been my go-to for cabinet plans, but if you say they're reported as inaccurate...

Maybe you'd be best finding someone with a cab, and taking your own measurements?

Jake's plans are not 100% accurate, but may well be good enough unless you need 100% accuracy (say, if you are buying the reproduction artwork).

Hi and welcome to the forums,
 Just another possible idea for creating a cabinet. you can download google sketchup and download some cabinet models from 3dwarehouse.
They are not dead-on plans but you can get some basic dimensions and ideas of how things go together. Its also great for kind of seeing how ideas will look.

heres a link to one of the models made by Gozer. If you use the dimensions tool in sketchup, you'll see they are very close.
