First Cabinet - Need Opinions
Locke141:
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.

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.

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.

It was an easy guess!
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.
