looking for advice on this cab that i am designing.

[michelevit]

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am looking to build a smaller, but proportional of a full size floor standing upright cab.

The idea is that a child can stand up and play games, but an adult needs to sit down and play games. It could also be placed on cinder blocks or some other stand and be a regular height upright cab.

Here is a link to some renders that better illustrate what I am looking to build.

Michele.

The advice I would give is ask more specific questions....

But, you can probably use a Lusid cabinet (search internet or this board for plans)
You would just want to scale them down to the size you need.

You probably will be stuck with a 1 player Control Panel (unless you just want 2 joysticks, and a couple buttons)

You can get away with using a cheap PC monitor (15" or 17") would probably work good.

If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask....Good Luck...keep us posted.
