Two more minor suggestions: 1. Make a 1:1 cardboard mockup of the diagram to play with positions/angles -- it's easier than doing it in wood. 2. If the panel doesn't come down fast enough for the joystick to clear, move the red/green pivot point maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of the way up the green piece. This gives more vertical drop for less horizontal travel. Scott |

Here is my suggestion. If this is your first project, especially if you don't do much woodworking, you may want to start with something simpler. Just a simple control panel would work for a start and then go from there. Also if you intend to put a monitor inside the table itself you might want to put a tv or something on top of the table for a while and see if you like it. Imho cocktail cabs are only good for very short bursts, otherwise your neck starts getting sore looking down like that. |

For the other things you are right. I made a test before and i canīt play for a long time. So we decided to use two panels. For playing short games, i use the Panel in the Drawer. If i want to play for a longer time, i have a "portable" panel. Also the Monitor will have a "Flip" mechanism that you can put up the monitior. Actually i would like a big carb, but my rooms a to small for this :-\ |

You can have shallow stand up cabs for small spaces :) |
