Arcade 1Up's Ikea cabinets
Mike A:
I really can't believe that people on this site in particular are wetting themselves to get a complete piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- arcade cabinet. I get that it is really cheap. WhipdeFucking do. Let's check out the awesomeness.
---smurfy--- emulator.
---smurfy--- through hole construction. It is probably 1/2 inch MDF.
---smurfy--- controls.
---smurfy--- size. Good luck actually playing this thing if you are an adult.
---smurfy--- monitor.
---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- sign me up for a bunch of these. ::)
I get that non enthusiasts would jump on something like this.
I just can't believe that people who frequent this site are signing up for these.

I'm only partially considering it for my nephews. I have a real deal SF2CE cab with a Multi CPS2 in it, I'll keep the real deal, they can beat the crap out of a well.......a piece of crap :)

I like the fact that they are small.... I'm running out of room for this stuff. I also like the fact that they have full side art. That crap is expensive now. I have concerns with virtually everything else about them but that doesn't cease my curiosity about them.
opt2not:
"Small" is kinda deceiving with these though. Yes they're shorter, but they aren't that much smaller in floor space needed.
Lets compare numbers:
Arcade 1UP = 45.8” H x 23” D x 19” W
Centipede = 71" H x 25" D x 26.75" W
Robotron = 65" H x 28.5" D x 24.5" W
Donkey Kong = 67" H x 33.5" D x 23.5" W
Dynamo HS-1 = 75" H x 36" D x 28" W
So with the Atari and Williams cabinets being the smaller of the full-sized, Donkey Kong or a standard Dynamo being the larger ones...as you can see the savings is about 5 or 6" in Depth and Width...that's really not much less space required TBH.

Seeing this post, I feel more inspired to build my own classic low-boy with a 20" CRT monitor (I think that is what people here are calling a cabaret?). Aside from the fact I'm not in the USA or anywhere remotely near a Walmart, there's no way that I'd actually buy one of these though for all the reasons other people have given. They do look alright, but the build quality is concerning and once you take all the probably ---smurfy--- bits away all you are left with is some nice artwork and maybe a control panel.
