Wall-mounted arcade designs?
mann0mann:
Love the cabinets 2084...nice work. That Robotron design is super clean and tight.
Not that you asked for any input on this but I'd almost envision like a shallow bartop shelf on the wall for those. Just underneath the bottoms like they were sitting on them. Kinda like how you might see in a pool hall. It be a great place to set a drink, cell phone or something down. You could probably hide a power strip and the cords underneath as well.
Thanks for sharing the picture! It definitely got a right-click save in my book. :applaud:

I did design all of them with a flat bottom so they could be used as bartop games. The problem with these as bartops is that they aren't very deep so they might fall off a shelf or bar if they weren't also anchored to the wall. I suppose they could be anchored to the wall and have a shelf under them which I think is what this post is suggesting. I can see how that might have some advantages, but it is not the direction I had planned to go.

Thanks for the info!

You have obviously never seen me play Track and Field!

Those look awesome! but the power cables look really messy, you should hide them using cable channels.

Just what I was thinking
I was thinking the same thing but figured he just hasn't finished mounting them - should be easy to add some recessed outlets into the wall behind them :
