--- Quote from: Turnarcades on April 23, 2009, 09:46:21 am ---Many adults in the UK have bought Mini cabs from us for themselves, rather than for kids. Mini cabs are the perfect height for kids, but like mentioned here, seated adults can play comfortably and I vouch for that. If you are building a cab purely for effect rather than practicality, you could try building a tiny upright like the Neo-Geo replicas on this thread.

How much would one with just the wood and not the electronics be shipped to the U.S.?

Still looking at viable international postage I'm afraid. At most I imagine we could do a bare-wood flat-pack over the pond. PM if you semi-serious and I'll see what I can arrange.

Well, what i think you should do is make a bar top and then if you wanted yo could make a mini cab to work as the pedestal base for it.  ( This may only works in theory)

When you say Mini - what are you thinking about height wise? Using Galaga as an example:

This is a 20" mini galaga


This is a 20" bartop galaga


IMO, the bartop is much more playable. Even if you made a 4' mini, the angle of the monitor is troublesome.
