opinion of modern cocktail design
<< < (3/3)
melarky:
I agree with everyone else about your design, it looks nice, but very uncomfortable to play on.

I think the best modern cocktail design I've seen is the one Quarters made a while ago (he has pics and plans available on his website: http://quarters.ca/).  I want to make one of these next (with a few modifications, mostly to the way the monitor mounts, I love the look of it and don't want to change that at all).

I also like this one a lot: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55917.0

thnx for the advice guys... really appreciate it.

Firstly im not such a gamerist at heart... but always like the idea.
I understand the wall concerns near the controls... in my plan that area is 60cm long. would that not be enough room for 2 control set ups, and making the wall issues no problem (the control panellayout on the model is not accurate (to scale) and would prob take up less space.

to help you get more of a feel of what im going for, i might be making it gloss black and using those funky stool cubes for seating.

I dont have heaps of money so i want to cut down on controls (as their freakin exspensive in australia). So i was thinkin of going for just a side by side design.

I also plan to use this for music heavily.
Main priorites: Looks good, sounds good, plays a few games (up to SNES emulator)

With the floor instep (foor leg space) im not sure how i would include this into the design without making it to complicated/exspensive/more work.

The pc will prob be a p3 700mhz

Still keep the ideas coming... really appreciated

oops i forgot it will be on castors so their might be 5cm hight clearance for feat to go under (satisfactory?)
RayB:
I hope they are locking castors, otherwise that sucker's gonna be sliding all over the room in the heat of game playing.

I LOVE the design. (I'm into modern furniture and love modern design)

BUT my only criticism of it is the red joystick balls and buttons. I'd try to stick with colors that compliment the whole look-- Mostly black and if at all possible, silver.
