Somebody get this guy a job at NASA.  Keg and tap in a Cabinet. GENIUS! I tells ya.
Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets

That's not a bad looking cabinet.

I gave up on the cupholder idea and just put the glasses right on my CP. Nobody ever gets so enthusiastic that we've had a spill, and there was really no good way to build a cupholder for a martini glass, anyway.

I got my flip down cup holder for my old mame cabinet from a store that carries boat parts. They were just plain black ones and they flipped up closed when not in use. I have seen something similar at walmart as well.

Rugged, cheap, don't block anything (spindly!), hold a beer bottle, tumbler, plastic cup, etc.

I'm using boat cup holders in mine. All you have to do is cut a hole in your pannel and these drop right in.

check out ebay - boat cup holders

Doesn't the PC come with a cup holder already?

Well, i was going to do one of these when i got back, but now that someone's already done it...  :cry:


Okay... I will probably still do it  ;D

That one lacks a bit of style  :afro:

I also don't think that comment about the PC already having a cupholder got the appreciation it deserves, so...

 :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Seriously, it almost depends on what type of drinks you plan on having most frequently.  I prefer chilled, handled mugs of beer in pint and liter(yes, one liter) sizes full of frosty, condensation-forming brew.  These require shallower coaster style "cup holders".   :cheers:

I have 4 of them for mine, but they're not installed yet.

These are what I have installed on my cabinet. The frozen mugs will fit in them too, just not all the way down. Some of the best money I spent in my gameroom. I have one on my pinball too, but it came attached to a bracket that you attach with the bolts that hold the front leg on.
You probably remember me from such films as `The Revenge of Abe Lincoln' and `The Wackiest Covered Wagon in the West'
