If I were mean, I would also ask what kind of man builds a cabinet out of a dresser? I might mention something about a man who's wife wears the pants and wouldn't let him have an arcade so he has to sneak one in his house. I might even suggest that the theme is an overcompensation and trying to be manly. Possibly like an arcade cabinet in drag. If I were not such a nice person - I'd ask if it makes that sound transformers made when it switches from armoire to cabinet. It's more than meets the eye. Fortunately for you, I'm not a mean person. ;) |

Dirt, It was fun the first time around. This cabinet is on it's second thread. The guy makes a bad cabinet, and he gets harassed by some of the noobs on this board. They sent him some messages and links to the thread here. He ended his auction and then posted it on craigslist. They flagged it and had it removed. For gods sake - let the dude sell his crap and lets move on. Pretty soon - people are going to put 2 and 2 together and know it was my cabinet. ;) |

The addition of bezel art would improve the continuity between the marquee and the CP. The non constructive feedback that comes to mind: I assume that it is successfull ergonomically as an arcade cabinet. As a piece of furniture it's aesthetically successful (if you like the style) but a practical nightmare as arcade cabinets tend to be. I don't like the furniture style, but as you said it was built to spec. I think it's an apreciable feat to try and make a cabinet which disapears when not in use. It must be extremely difficult to do from a design and construction point of view but it's a bit of a self defeating exercise. |
