RIDE THE LIGHTNING ARCADE CABINET MAME PROJECT
Comp1demon:
All good Questions.
The Marquee glass is not that heavy.. at all.. its only 1/8 inch thick so its quite lite and the retainer works well, I have tested it already. you would be surprised how much weight the retainer holds.. the retainer came with the cabinet .. not happs.. but im sure they sell the same stuff.. Ill post pics when i get that done.
I went with Bronze tinted glass not Brown.. I read in this forum somewhere that a glass guy who built his own cabinet recomended Bronze or Smoke Tinted.. they only had bronze so that what I went with.. to be honest it's so light it don't affect the Monitor at all... It looks arcade perfect...
Lastly, I have more than enough room when I push the flight stick all the way foward.. my hands wrapped around the stick pushed foward I have over 2 inches before glass, and even the head of the flight stick pushed all the way foward has about 2 fingers rooms between it and the glass, there are pic's posted on my site.
Thanks,
C1D

Computer on RTL died... Updating the PC and the Software. Will repost soon!
Updated the CPU for $30 and the RAM was Lifetime Warranty so I RMAed it.
NEW Video card $40
SSD to boot XP (120GB OCZ drive) Cost me nothing.
