I'm building one of these cabs based off Luis Tully's plans: and using jaharr01's build thread as a guide. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,142577.msg1477025.html#msg1477025 i'm thinking of making it it a little bigger to accommodate a 2 player control panel so I can play most of the two player horizontal hack n' slash / run n' gun types like golden axe & metal slug. I could do a neo geo layout and get a few fighters but then my boys will end up fighting for real if they play those against each other. ::) so unless someone can point out a great 4 button game i'd miss out on i'll probably just stick with 3. maybe even go with the golden axe button layout? I have options for displays i'm trying to figure out also. 20" CRT TV with component in. 17" VGA monitor 17 & 19" LCD monitors. I've never worked with MDF. I know it's heavy as hell since I had HD cut a sheet into 2x4 ft pieces and carried them in but I don't know if I can hang a 20" CRT off it at that angle. Not even sure a CRT at that angle would fit without sticking out the back. I'd extend the sides to be 24" deep and widen it to 24" to fit a 2 player control panel so it would essentially be a square. Not sure how that would look. Any suggestions for a newb? |

To my knowledge, all caberets are 1 player. The angle and depth of the monitor on that style cab in particular is really meant for one player standing in front of the machine. |

I also may, based on this consider a narrower vertical schump with the 17" crt monitor and just go with the one player CP. Which I will probably mock up also since that sounds like a good idea to do. |
