First time build
« on: February 21, 2014, 11:35:20 am »
Hello all.  I have been lurking here for the past few months and after reading countless build threads, I built up the confidence to try my hand at fulfilling a childhood dream of having an arcade game in my house.  I am no carpenter or builder, but using many of your ideas I have actually built what I think is a decent machine.  It's not a hall of fame type deal but it's sturdy and looks decent enough that my wife has allowed me to bring it into the house!  Anyway, here are some pics.  Thanks for all of the inspiration.

I agree with Drnick.  That is totally acceptable.  In fact, it's pretty darn decent. Good job!  :cheers:
