You are an arcade building machine. Makes me wonder if you and Griffindodd have jobs or are you guys locked up in the garage and have food passed under the door.
Looks like the cab will fit him perfect. :D

Haha, thanks typefighter! I am working on producing better looking cabs as I go along. Producing a nice looking cab takes some finesse when you don't want to break the bank on a project. It seems like the more money you pump into this hobby the easier it is to make a beautiful cab. I am just trying to level that a bit lower so it doesn't get out of hand when I want to take on a bigger project than bartops or "clyde's corner". Been sourcing various websites and Ebay stores to add to my list of arcade parts, that both quality and price seem reasonable. For instance, 40ft of t-molding for $18 and a set of 2 joysticks and 16 buttons for $40.
Anyways, I do have a job :laugh: I work for myself though, computer ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- mostly.....Pc repair, website design\maintenance, TV repair and among other various things (schemes). Building things with my hands trump all though, and when I found this site all those months ago.....well you see the end result of me and 50 bucks in parts lol
CoryBee:
Monitor secured, he got it for free from a fellow churchian. Gamepads came in this morning as well, next up is the buttons and joysticks to arrive for install.
CoryBee:
Screen installed, started drilling CP holes and kick plate art started by nephew :laugh:
SpaceHedgehog:
Are you on track to complete CortDee? That's a tight schedule you're working to there.
No rest for the wicked (or saintly, in this case :angel:)
Looking good btw, nice shape and the monitor looks to be a decent size for that cab.

;D I got this man, would of had more done but nursing a hangover from yesterday. Nephew's b-day party at johns incredible pizza.....soooo many arcade games :applaud: And the ninja lazer maze had my heart pumping, have to contort yourself around lazers to get to the other side and hit a button (time matters to your score). I really want to build one for my backyard, like a hut or something.....
