Emdec-01 : Pixel Assault (Project)
Pixelhugger:
If I don't mind? MIND??? Are you kidding? I'd love to have my obsessive cabinet related insanity validated like that. ;)
Thanks for the kind words back. 8)

I love your MALA layout! I just wish I could come up with a name for my arcade and stick with it. I would only dream of having a layout in MALA as slick as yours. Im very excited with your project I cant wait to see what it ends up like!

Well now that my more experienced woodworking friend is off school, we're starting to really look at the cab design and such...
Since we're starting the sides from fresh plywood, it gives me an opportunity to redesign everything a bit.
Since I have fairly low ceilings in the basement (76"), I had to edit the original MvC cab design at the top, basically cutting it down. Doing this, however, leaves me with a very unsatisfying look, and I'm trying to regain a bit of character without looking like a chopped down top.
I could just go standard and use the old "flat stuck out front" look, but the whole reason I got the MvC cab is because of the design, so thats out..
I've attached a quick sketch of what 'm thinking about for the sides, and I'd like some opinions...
As you can see, the top is tilted down a bit... Does this look ok? I ask because I don't think I've ever seen anyone (even on custom designs) tilt their marquee's down, and I figure it's not so bad as the marquee is high anyway... opinions?

I angled mine down, and I love it. Makes it feel like the marquee is looking at you instead of staring blankly off into space. ::) Mine hasn't been installed yet but you can get an idea for how it looks here. Yours is maybe at a slightly more acute angle but still very similar. The original Space Ace marquee was angled downward as well.

I've seen the marquee's angled down as well and I like it. You get a slightly larger canvas for your artwork without adding to the height.
