Mario Bros. Arcade Reproduction - Now with POW Block Stool
wilef:
The retainer I cut at home to the desired length (a hair under 22.5"), then filed down the rough edges, painted it and then drilled the holes. It may have been better to drill the holes before painting, but it worked out for me.
The bolts were really hard to find. Home Depot, Lowe's and Osh didn't have them. I got them at an Ace hardware. They were 1" long and the square portion was 3/16" to a side. The nuts are size: 10-24.
wilef:
The cabinet looks great, side art applied, worth checking out!

Dude, you better put that arcade monitor in there! AWESOME!

Thanks guys, it's so great to see it come this far. Every time I walk into the room I just have to stare at it for a minute. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, there's no way it could have gotten done without my friend Marc or my dad (thanks guys!), but it's pretty rewarding to see it go from a couple sheets of MDF to a beautiful cabinet in six months time.
Hiub1, I hear you...I'm going to get it up and running with the PC monitor I have and then start convincing my wife that an arcade monitor would be better. I just need to do it one step at a time :)
