Not so tall cabinet?

Pages: (1/5) > >>

DemonBrew:

I'm looking to build my first cabinet. My plan was to copy the Project Arcade / Lusid's Arcade Flashback cab as my first, for simplicity. Turns out, the basement I plan to install this in has only 6' 4" ceiling height. I don't want to take off a foot off the bottom of the cab, thereby making the controls way too low. But, I also don't want to make a mini-cabinet that only kids could use. I'm also not interested in a bar-top or cocktail table design.

Anyone know of projects that have already addressed this problem?

RayB:

Yeah, this site's full of examples. Just search for "mini" cabs, "caberet" cabs (or is it "cabaret"?), and "low boy" cabs.


Sephroth57:

i think a low boy would fit your situation well. theyre pretty cool lookin too, like ray said try a search for those key words

Hoagie_one:

a low boy, a bar top or maybe the new thing people are talking about...the control panel withthe computer inside, just plug it into a TV or comp monitor and bamm.

Sephroth57:

yeah but he wants a "real" cabinet, not a mini or a bartop. i think the only other alternative is a lowboy really
