LeapinLew: Bartop Cabinet - Completed!

[tranq]

Neat, but I could never play ROBOTRON with that stick set-up.   One reason in the consideration of my cab design to make the panel movable (using rubber feet underneath to keep it still) cos, depending on the game - whether it be retro, PC, or VP (I don't like side-buttons) - I need to shift it some way this or that.

I don't get it. Whats wrong with the stick setup? Or do you mean the control panel itself? How would you play Robotron?

I just now saw this Lew.  Great job!!

Awesome! Praise from Caesar. Thanks, that means a lot coming from you. I've admired your work since I started this hobby.

nice great looking cab...
how difficult it is to hack a flat screen like that ?

ArcadeFever,

No hacking involved. It's a desktop LCD that I used. Originally I was going to use a laptop, but I had always intended to use a desktop LCD.

I hope I've giving measurements to anyone who's wanted them. If you want measurements let me know - I'll be happy to be more specific. In fact, I have the template for this still - if you have a pattern bit - you can have the template to make your own.

You know what would be awesome lew!??!!

Since your bartop is so small, you could crate it and ship it around the country for us all to try! It could be the byoac community bartop. Yea, I wanna see for myself just how good it plays Robotron!

Leapinlew - Don't think of it like that... Think of it more like the Stanley cup.  It will be police escorted everywhere it goes... with tons of people lining up to drink out of it. 

Seriously.  Nice job.  I love how you mounted the pc components in such a tight place.  If possible, can you share the dimensions with me?  I can add it to my long list of projects.  Thanks!
