My first cab. It's very humble compared to what I've seen here and I realize I'm going to catch hell for using an X-Arcade. Question is, what would you do to this cabinet if you had limited funds/skill? It's also not deep enough to house a CRT tv or arcade monitor. As far as LCD goes, this is the biggest square one I could find at 19 inches. I realize the drawer is open a little bit too, sorry about that. Just looking for some constructive criticism. Maybe I should just leave it alone? |

If it does what you want it to, leave it be. :cheers: Otherwise, plan a brand new scratch build, and transplant the guts. |

If it were me I'd think about adding > trackball > spinner > bigger flat monitor/less bezel? either by selling the xarcade part and then getting the parts I'd want and building my own, or salvaging from the xarcade itself. I actually don't mind the xarcade, but I'd want it to look more integrated. |

The design is not bad. Here is what I would do: * Larger LCD. * Paint glass black so only screen shows. * paint glass retaining bolts black, or eliminate them all together. * Get rid of the keyboard drawer. They are not necessary and look stupid. * Make a proper control panel, even if you reuse some of the arcade components. (Or sell it) |

im no pro like some people on here, but it looks good, aside from the x-arcade stick being really out of place. Maybe figure out a new way to integrate it into your build? submerge the lower portion of the x-arcade into the design so its a big more flush maybe? or just start a whole new one :) thats fun too |
