Pretty slick design!



Santoro:

It would be better if the screen was bigger, but I have to agree the design is quite 'sexy.'

koolmoecraig:

Slick design?

It's a black box with chrome trim.

Is that a 10" monitor? The angle of the control panels looks to be painful as hell.

All in all, that looks to be one of the most half-assed cocktails I have ever seen.

Then again, maybe i'm just tainted by the price:

$3000 plus shipping! HAHAHAHHAAAA.

You know where they can stick it.

So where do YOU put your feet when playing a cocktail cab?  Will ANY cab be considered a "slick design" by that criteria, since they're ALL a "box" with some sort of trim on them? 

Someone looking for a bauhaus look in their house would find this to be an uber-cool design. 

The main problem with the cab is the monitor size.  Obviously ANY manufacturer will be selling their cabs for thousands of dollars, so that's an issue with pre-manu'd cabs, but to blow off the nice leg design and minimalistic look as "a black box with chrome trim" says a lot.

Thing looks really sweet to me, from a distance...  At only around 2 foot tall overall, I'd feel a little more like i was tieing my shoestrings than playing a game  :(
