I just had a great idea. (Well, I think it's a great idea.) Don't stand the barrel upright. Put it on it's side, Put a bigger monitor in it so as to look like a regular cocktail cabinet. Put it on legs that will allow the cabinet to tilt to the left 45 degrees and have the ability to add side by side two player controls for your horizontal games (Platform's and Shooters and such) Think is would look cool. If you don't make it I might have to.

Bonus points if you do this with a rotating monitor setup. ;D

All votes in from the peanut gallery. Awaiting the Signing statement or flat out veto.

And when the barrel is on it's side 45 degree for two player fight mode you can add a marquee stand on the back of the cabinet that is made out of Donkey Kong level like girders and ladders. The blue ladders would be the support for the marquee box and the marquee box it seld would be surrounded by the red and purplish girders. That would look hawt!!!

When you mentioned tilting it for 2 player action, it reminded me of the angled racks sometimes used for dispensing beer and ale.

And I pictured it angled like a lowboy instead of a cocktail.

Definitely cool.

The "girders and ladders" could also support a 2 player CP.

If only he had a way to powder coat them with those beautiful colors. . . >:D

And we have this

The challenge here is to make the smallest possible comfortable size for two CPs and a 17" screen. Clearance above the sticks and buttons needs to be high enough that the glass can overhang virtually the full CP area. The entire unit is only 25" long.

Also I want this whole unit to lift out of the barrel for maintenance, no screws or nails etc that's why I have the cross braces. This whole structure will house all PCB power wiring amplifier etc. The only thing attached to the inside of the barrel will be a power strip leading to the molex socket.
