Hi there, Just thought I would share my cab with the world, with is based on the ultimate arcade machine. So far this bad boy has been under construction for a month. It is built out of Birch plywood with pine trim on the edges rather than using t-molding, I thought it would look nicer with the wood and all. I have installed a six speaker surround sound system into it and am now waiting on parts coin door cooling fans etc..... I also have a slide out keyboard which with all the angles on the cabinet took me sometime to get right; thank god for the table saw I couldn |

Looks great. Did you consider a less noticible handle for the keyboard drawer? Not ripping on it, maybe you want people to know its there. You could have a finger edge or a small finger hole; but then you might forget its there as well. |

Did you consider a less noticeable handle for the keyboard drawer? Yes I did at one point I was going to install a mailbox lock to make it look a bit more like an arcade machine however it would have been a real pain to keep having to unlock it every time I wanted to use the keyboard. The cabinet mine is based on has the same type of handle and it is made of wood to match the rest of it anyway. I do want this cabinet to be like a real arcade machine to a point; however I didn't want something out of an arcade, more like a fine piece of furniture is what this project is about. One thing I read alot and have now found out myself is that is costs so much to build one of those things you might as well make it the very best you can. My so called budget is already out of the window, but who cares as long as it looks good and the game is on! Gary |
