Honestly, that is what it is lol. I am a poor college student so I wanted to make it accessible to upgrades (ie if I get some money down the road, I will buy and mount a tv on the back) so I am just going with mainly what I have on hand or can get cheaply. --- Quote from: jimmer on September 25, 2013, 06:01:06 am --- Do you live at home, in a dorm, off camps apartment, or a frat house? If you have the space, you can find cheep old non working arcade cabinets on craigslist or ebay. It wouldn't be tons of work to make a working cab from a gutted shell. I saw a free pre gutted cab by my brothers place last summer on craigslist. You could go crazy later with art and upgrades when you have money. --- End quote --- |

The play surface looks flat which is uncomfortable for long periods of play. Slope it 10-15 degrees or so would make it better. You should have a toe kick at the bottom like a kitchen cabinet. Thats a little recess so your feet can fit under it. |

dont you need a coin button for each player if your going that route? |

I think you are better off making a stand alone controller. sit the controller on the shelf with the TV/Monitor and play. PC can sit on the floor. Eventually you can make a cabinet to mount the control panel to. |

Don't be put off by our comments, playing the games is the most important thing. Even professionals get it wrong. Here is a beautiful cabinet, spoiled only by inappropriate fan. And a less beautiful and even more inappropriate fan. |
