to cupholder?...or to not cupholder?....that is the question!
(1/7) > >>
hulkster:
so ive seen several new projects with people using cupholders attached to their cabs.  when i made my first cab, i put cupholders on it, but i dont recall ever using them...but being that my first cab sucked big donkey balls anyway, there was no reason to play for long periods of time.  now that i have a nicer cab, i was thinking of adding cupholders. 

i would probably add those flip out cupholders to keep it hidden, but my main concern is that what if install them, drilling holes and all that....and end up not liking it.  then i have holes in my cp or whatever, and it sucks.

so i guess my question first is...should i add cupholders to my cab?

second question is...are there cupholders that dont require drilling them into the cab itself? 
FrizzleFried:
I never quite understood the desire to have cupholders on  a cabinet?!?  I mean,  aren't there tables,  ledges,  SOMETHING where you can put your cup down near your cabinet?   I suppose I understand why some put ash trays,  but I'd never do that either.

Just my opinion.
Green Giant:
I personally want cupholders, just haven't seent the flipout ones anywhere.  Where my cab is there is a table on the left but wall on the right.  Works fine for one player, but when playing with two people the other person is in trouble.

Yeah I usually use the top of my cab, but when a short person comes over they will have trouble.  I want something easier to reach on the side of the cab so I can grab a swig of Shiner and keep right on button mashing.

Cup holders are a must in my book. If not present the closest horizontal surface will get used which may be another CP or machine top.

Just remember that Jack and Coke is a  :censored: to clean out of CPs.

I would recommend going with the fold up kind like you mentioned.
ahofle:
I have foldout cup holders on the sides of my cabinet.  Using a table or desk nearby isn't the same -- I usually take a quick swig of beer in between levels of Joust or Gauntlet for example.  Strangely, I get more 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from guests over those stupid cup holders than any other part of the cabinet.   :dunno
If you do decide to get some, get the kind with the adjustable 'claw' that can accommodate glasses in addition to cans/bottles.
