what kinda cab for second project?
brained:
Hi all!!
it's been a long time since my last post. But, i'm back to bother again ...
I've made my first and only cab about 2 years ago, it works fine, but there's a slight problem. My wife doesn't let me take the cab to my apartment because it's too big... the poor thing it's stuck at my brother's house... :(
Well, now i've made up my mind!! I WANT A CAB AT MY PLACE!!! :soapbox:
My solution is to build something smaller, so that's why I'm looking for suggestions. I want the cab to be able to hold two players with the SF/NEOGEO layout, I've seen some slim cabs around, so I thought I could get some advice here. Also I've been looking forward to build a cocktail, but I think they're too bulky, is a cocktail a good option, ohhh ... my wood skills are L4M3.
What can I Do?
shardian:
Taito cabs are small, but good. A 2 player neo geo is a squeeze, but it will fit.
Zeno:
If you don't need a trackball, I would suggest a Ms.Pac/Galaga style cabinet. Looks classic and can fit all your buttons (barely).
I'm looking to do a cocktail too. I think it's the best solution for you. My plan is to do controls on 3 sides so that I can take advantage of horizontal and vertical.
Check out this cocktail...
If you build it... they will come.

Thats a good cabinet right there, it's pretty damn big though. If I put a 4 foot base on it, it would be a full size cabinet. The one I'm working on now is much smaller:

I'll be honest with you though. What you really need is one of these:
Smack her around with that enough and you'll be able to build whatever you want. ;)
