Just wanted to share my progress on my Bartop.








My blog page. Lots of detail on the process of building it.

My flickr account.

Hey bud - congrats on your first build. I just read your blog and your being much too hard on yourself. I wasn't happy with my first cabinet either, and I think you'll find many folks around here who build a 2nd/3rd (etc.) cabinet so they can keep improving their design.

How she play?
barnes:
Gameplay is great right now. 2 player is cramped, but alright. Having issues with Maximus Arcade right now I'm trying to fix. Crashed out of MAME alot and won't go back to the menu when I exit a game.

leapinlew:
Cool - keep tweaking it.

Was there a reason you didn't use the laptops monitor? Whats the dimensions?
barnes:
2 reasons: The LCD dosn't do justice to retro games, and I would have to rip it out and move it to the front of the cabinet, which I hate doing. Those little fiber wires in electronics scare me. They are too difficult to work with.
