Flat Pack Kit for X-Arcade Tankstick and 24" Monitor

[Enverex]

I'm looking for a flat-pack kit for a Bartop cabinet suitable for pairing with an X-Arcade Tankstick, unfortunately I'm finding literally no-where that makes anything that would go with a Tankstick. There are a few sold by "Xtension" but those aren't available in the UK and aren't really what I'm looking for.

I've contacted a few of the "flat-pack" and custom companies but only one replied and they don't do customs so no use there. I'm aiming for something like this but I'm running out of ideas in terms of where to buy something like that.

Does anyone know of anything in the UK that would be suitable? I don't have the tools or skill to make one myself so that's not really an option.

Unrelated note, I really can't read these damn verification pictures, it's a bit OTT.

The verifications are only there until you have 5+ posts (the forum has had problems with spammers creating new accounts and spamming up the forums so it now uses the verifications for new accounts for the first 5 posts (also can't use PM system till after that). 

Since the plans are listed in the post you reference you might try building your own - It's really not that difficult if you already have dimensions mapped out. (Or do like he did and have the shop cut the panels to size (he lists what is needed in the one diagram) and then trace the sides and cut them with a jigsaw - or find someone that can cut the 2 sides for you) -- It's really just the 2 sides that need cutting in anything but straight cuts so most of it can be cut at the hardware store for a small fee per cut. (Not sure there but Lowes or Home Depot here will cut them for $0.05 - $0.10 per cut if buying the wood there - which would still be much cheaper than ordering a flatpack and paying shipping costs)

Thanks for the info.

I don't drive so moving large wooden planks around is a bit of an issue, another reason I'm erring on the side of getting something pre-built.

As a last resort I am looking into designing something in CAD (using that other cabinet as a basis, I can't use that cabinet as-is as it's not wide enough, but it would be a start) and then having all the pieces cut to size for me and doing it that way, but again never having done any woodwork means I'm very concerned about mucking it up (also lack of tools is still an issue).

Like this?



I've made one of these before for a customer. 

I'm in the US, however, and shipping to the UK would probably be outrageous.  This was a fairly heavy kit, maybe 40 pounds or so.

Exactly like that, hah. If that was available in the UK I'd buy it right now (assuming it could fit a monitor with a total width of 22.4", which given the width of the X-Arcade, I'd imagine it could).

Shipping from France to the UK is bad enough, shipping from the US would be insane and then you'd end up with import VAT added on just as an extra kick in the teeth.

I don't want to speak for Haruman, but perhaps you guys can work out a deal where he supplies you with the CNC plans and you can get it cut out in the UK?

Thoughts?

If you are still searching later on in the year (once the weather warms enough to make sawdust outside), then I can sort you out then?.

It will not be CNC`d , but should still turn out ok  .

Maybe, it depends on the cost though as I'd imagine hand-made would be rather expensive.
