My 2nd Arcade Cabinet - Finished enough to think about a 3rd (mini 24" vert)

[Acids]

Hey all, I've been lurking around these parts for Many Many years and I still get amazed looking at the amazing cabinets people make / convert or restore
I wish i had a 10^th of the patience of some of you.

Anyway, My first cab was a Neo Candy which has been played to death and then when i moved stored in the garage.
( Its still there but it most likely doesn't go any more )



I've just put this together for the flatmates.   Amazing what's possible with just a few tools and a reasonable eye.
I wish i had access to a cnc machine i would go crazy
Not a lot of actual measuring gone on here, mostly that looks right kind of thing.

Still work in progress but a fully playable start    
This also means any work will slow WAAAAYYYY down as its getting played by everyone!!

Sorry about the pics.  Iphone camera and me dont mix well.

Great job!  I love the slim design.

Update - 
         
         Added picture of control panel art   ( Graphics borrowed from the interwebs )
         This was printed on Self-adhesive matte finish vinyl and i think it looks cool and i hope it lasts.
         
         The only downside to this i can think of is i will have to do a reasonable paint job or it will look out of place.
         (  Wish me luck as I don't have a huge amount of patience )

pretty awesome, nice vewlix style cabinet. Is that a 16:10 screen in there? Slightly OT but was your neo candy bought or do you make this by hand using mdf?

[Acids]

Neo Candy was a restore.   new screen and internals etc.
It was just a old fibreglass shell when i got it. 
I built-up internal framing with mdf as i didn't have access to metal and tools.
Unfortunately its now Super heavy.

I Was at the right place at the right time when i got that.

thanks for the comment.  I like it. 
Screen was a freebie from work and it was spare so this seemed a good use for it.

Ok added finished - Ish pic to first post.
I suspect this is where this will stay for along time unless i fell like over-hauling the cabinet.

Its simple clean and works.

Hyper spin V2 would be nice ?
