Minimalist arcade cabinet concept (New design pics - June 26th)

Nice. It's coming along. I don't think it's going to interfere with player's feet placement at all. It looks like you'll be able to fit a subwoofer in there if you like!
If I get a chance in the next few days to mock it up in SketchUp (unlikely), I had a design idea that I might post. I'll start a different thread for it, or just PM it to you. Don't know if you'll want to take it on, but it might be an interesting read at least.
Keep at it!

Don't know where you got it from (Germany?) but that panel is not sold in the US (and probably not Canada either, where the OP is located.) I wasn't even able to find an equivalent.

From what I could research, that appears to be an older (2010?) model TV. Unfortunately, it's not available where I live.
The reason I was leaning towards a PC monitor is that on average, PC LCD screens seem to have generally lower input lag, as well as higher native resolutions for the cost. Then again, I suppose talking MAME games, native resolution isn't as big a deal, although I wouldn't mind using it for more modern games, too (i.e. SF IV).
Nice setup btw. Out of curiosity how far away is your screen (viewing distance)?

It's been fun designing and learning Sketchup at the same time. ;D

Cool, I look forward to seeing it if you do post it. The more ideas I can draw from the better! :cheers:
