| HippoDan:
I'm finally working on my Cabinet. Started years ago planning a 27" CRT and a rotating panel. Then my kid was born.... Fast forward 10 years, and I'm starting again. Space is a premium now, so it'll have to be LCD and swappable panels if I still want customization. My idea is extendable wings on drawer slides with up to 4 12"x12" panels. I'm still trying to work out the best way to hide the drawer slides, and prevent sharp corners when the wings are out. Two panels.....................................................................................Four Panels I have two monitor surrounds here. I like the rounded version, but I'm afraid it would block the view for players 3 and 4. What do you think? And a view with 3 Panels. I'm also thinking of half panels, to surround a steering wheel, with a blank, and a shifter. Blank panels can also surround a single center panel for simpler games like Donkey Kong or Qbert. I want it to be tailored to the individual games, and I think I would probably leave it in a single configuration for a few weeks, and then change it to encourage more play time. There's a long way to go here, and hopefully some pleasant surprises along the way. P.S. Does anybody have any ideas how to best "lock up" drawer slides so they don't wiggle when extended? I can prevent it from sliding in and out, but want the whole thing to be tight as well. |

Just build a simple 2 player cab. It has already been ten years. If you try to build this weird thing it will be another ten years and you still won't be playing video games. Just build a simple cab so you can start playing. If you play it a lot then you can start building a more complicated cab to replace that one. |

I agree keep it simple. But it's your machine so I'm interested in what you come up with. Drawer slides in my experience, the more you spend the less wobble..Dont buy cheap.. Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk |
