| Consolecab design, please comment |

Consider putting the console drawer in the front of the cab, in case you decide to put it against a wall. Also, wireless gamepads might be nice. It would eliminate the need for another door/shelf. Do you intend to use a coin door on this project? The console could sit on a shelf inside the coin door. Or you could just hack your consoles and never have to swap discs again. |

I was going to say something similar... Put a drawer, or door on the front... Bending over to get to the side of the cabinet to change games would get to be a real pain. Wireless controllers (at least for P1 & P2) would also help prevent a rat's nest of wires... Otherwise, it sounds like a really neat idea. I hope you're able to follow through with it. - tmasman |

Looks good! I've got a couple of metal DDR pads (built from instructions on DDR Freak) and there is just something so much better about playing it on a cab. Storing it underneath is a great idea! |

I am installing the TV into my PS2 cab tonight and it has an angled screen. I thought that it would cause a problem with me seeing the screen from a distance using a dance pad or GunCon guns and Time Crisis, but it doesn't at all. If you are not into fighting games, then you have the perfect desgin. Otherwise I would build a CP that can be attached so you can play fighting games with joysticks and not just the paddles. I could also serve as a base for a steering wheel. Don't forget a place for the EyeToy. DDR has a new one out that uses the EyeToy also. It's a must have for DDR fans. |

How about making the whole thing out of "brushed" aluminum and get it anodized black. Now that would be nice! On a serious note though: Did you make the metal pads or buy them? If you bought them, where can I get one? |
