C-Macc's Version 2 - Complete Multi Arcade Computer Console System (Wip)

<< < (3/4) > >>

Much prefer the new design. The original sketchup design was nice but I didn't really like the fabrication. It looked like it belonged on a building site rather than in your living room. If you make a prototype for your new design make sure all the bolts, fixings etc are as hidden as possible. I cant imagine the final product being cheap and people wont want to pay a load of cash for what looks like a Meccano set.

I agree with TOK about covering the front up. If people are using it as a MAME rig or with a 360 etc they may not want there friends to see the guts of the system as it kinda takes away the arcade feel of the cabinet.

Apart from that, it looks nice, the slimmer design is much more appealing, especially where space is a premium. Keep us updated  :cheers:

--- Quote ---GameEx is a graphical DirectX based front-end for MAME , Zinc, Daphne, PC Games, and all command line based emulators, along with being a complete Home Theatre PC solution, especially  when gaming is a priority or important. It also makes a good CarPC frontend. The original goal was for it to be used on Windows XP Media Center and also Arcade Cabinets . It will run on any version of Windows 98SE, ME, 2000,  XP and Vista. You don't need Windows Media Center to run GameEx.

Very nice concept.  It has a sosphisticated look which is good but remember traditional arcade cabinets have that "play me im fun look about them"  Also keep in mind that viewing and LCD as an up close game machine requires a 27 inch to comfortably see everything on the screen at once.  Anything bigger than that gives you eye strain.   Make sure the control panel is definately secure as this is the point where most weight from  players will be distributed. Its a beautiful creation one of the best I have seen.  I cant wait to buy one from my local arcade shop!
