Second cabinet - Barcade -
« on: September 26, 2002, 01:38:31 am »
Completed my second cabinet and put together a web page for it.   Barcade is a bartop (tabletop) cabinet with single joystick and buttons for one player.  The monitor is vertically oriented to play some of the old classic games.

It looks alot like my first cab except smaller.  Thats what happens when you have parts and pieces left over. The cabs keep multiplying.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent job. I want to do something similar, but maybe with a little track ball (extra logitech marble man).

I also would like to make a rotating monitor for it. Concept in the works...

I bought an Athlon 700 from Tiger Direct for $69 with a 256mb sim for about $25. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hearing what you got an Athlon 700 for I will have to look at upgradeing in the near future since hardware costs next to nothing right now.  About 80% of the vertical games are playable but the newer ones are real CPU hogs.  It would be nice to get a few more on the playlist.

Good luck on your cab.  Looking forward to seeing more of the smaller types around.   Since snowed a bit this week I may have to forego my full size cab till spring and work on another mini something this winter.  Maybe a jukebox.
