That's the bit that got my back up. But only a little bit...peace.. --- End quote --- Well don’t pull your back out. Opinions are like buttholes...everyone’s got’em. Not something to lose sleep over. |

Bartops are bartops, not as impressive IMO since people can just follow the same weecade plans that have been done to death. But fullsized original designs is what this forum is seriously lacking as of late. I hope we eventually get back to those projects as the norm. --- End quote --- I think this comment specifically is the most inflammatory to me - You do realize that everything about this build is "full size" right? It's a 27" monitor, full size or even oversize control panel, full size 3" trackball, and all. In fact, building a full size cabinet with limited space was one of the challenges of this build. Why didn't I just build a normal cabinet? Because I wanted to push myself to make a full size cabinet in a unique package. --- Quote from: Mr. Peabody on August 08, 2019, 12:52:57 am ---The sub element I find ridiculous. A decent, and in cab instances modest, PC 2.1 system does all I have needed for twenty years. --- End quote --- This is kind of hilarious - a 2.1 system includes a sub. I've had multiple people comment on how good my cabinet sounds. The sub was 100% worth it. I didn't originally plan for one but after hearing it compared to my old cabinet which had one (a simple 2.1 computer speaker setup mind you) I felt I needed one. The setup has small speakers. The whole top is basically glass, with only a 2" strip for speakers. The ones I chose sound great but lacked the oomph I was after in the bottom end. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It truly sounds fantastic. I'm kind of happy my cabinet is causing controversy. Makes you all think about what it means to make an arcade cabinet and what an "arcade" is. I hope I inspire people to build unique and new designs. This forum would suck if we all built the same thing wouldn't it? |

I think that when you build something unconventional, you are more likely to get a mixed reaction. I dig this cab, and I think the space savings are real. Many disagree, and that's okay too. I'm glad that meltman posted his build, and I hope that he sticks around. :cheers: |
