Hey guys and gals- Well, I cut my teeth on building my wife a bartop. I kept it down in my recording studio/office, and she played it often down there while i was working. However, we are getting divorced (tis ok), and she's keeping the bartop, as it was a gift to her. I did like having an arcade machine in my studio space, gave it a cool vibe. So, I'm looking to get a new project going. I have a 24" LCD, and computer all lined up from extra parts I have laying around. However, I do need a cabinet kit, and was thinking of doing a cocktail, so it's still usable table/workspace in the studio. Can anyone recommend a kit? I know arcade depot is one of the best ones around for this, but I have no idea when they are coming back online post-hurricane (worth waiting?). Not in much of a rush, but would like to start gathering parts/designing, etc, since I'll have some extra Christmas money laying around. Thanks! Hope all of you have a great holiday, whatever you celebrate! Charlie |

Hrmm... the kits I've seen have been for 19" screens... |

Well, I was planning (when I was planning this) using an AD kit, and having him route a custom top for me, which they do offer. |

Make sure your LCD is viewable from the angles you plan to use it in your cocktail. Shame to have a custom cutout for a monitor that does not view well on its back. |

yep, i've checked the lcd. works great on the side/viewing angles as well. i just don't want to fool with a crt, and took inspiration for the LCD from the maximumpc build a few years back. |
