updated my CP (steel arcade)

[briktop11b]

  I built this about 8 or 9 months ago out of an old entertainment center on the cheap.Ive started updating and actually finishing it. I now have dreamcast,n64, snes, playstation and mame working great. I switched my cp from an neo geo like 4 button to 6 button for more of the fighting games and the console games. Instead of building a new cp i patch the holes with diamond plate to add to the theme of the cabinet.

Briktop,

Very nice looking.  I really like that cab.  I am just starting to think about a cabinet and want to use a LCD montior and make a slim cab.  Did you use someones plans?  Is it your own design?  If so any chance of getting some detailed measurments?  I would like to have a slightly bigger CP as I want a trackball and spinner.

Can you also give us some details?  LCD size, front end you are using, what joystick and buttons, etc.  Also is what game is running, NFL Blitz?

Nice use of an old entertainment center! Now it's an even better entertainment center. Did you just mask off and paint the rear of that Plexi bezel?

  Its my own design.I based it off of the UA II cab. I cant remember the measurements right off hand but its roughly 65" tall about 25" deep ( at the deepest) the CP heigth is about 38", cp size around 10" x 23" and 3-5" thick. The screen is a 17" HP. Im running maximus arcade front end. Yes the plexi was taped off and spray painted from th back and it looks great. I wanted it in the house so smallwasone of the wifes requirments.

what game is running, NFL Blitz?

[briktop11b]

Thanks. About the extra diamond plate, i was gonna do that and i just havnt gotton around to it. Its actually not under the plexi, i cut out the plexi then cut the peices to fit in the cutouts so you can feel the diamond plate.

that looks something that I would like to find at a homedepot tools department, I like it! 

Very Original, have you thought about putting some yellow color into it? what's the depth on it?

[briktop11b]

Havnt thought about yellow but now that you mention it,that would look pretty good. Have any ideas? And the depth at the cp is 23".
