Title: Solidteezme's FIRST SCRATCHBUILT! Arcade Cabinet (Moved to projects)
Post by: solidteezme on March 29, 2010, 06:16:11 am
Hi all, As this is my first post i would like to thank everyone on the site for your information and tips as this project would not have been possible without you,

This is my first arcade machine build, here it is in the early stages, with all the panels cut and assembled.

Full controller build credits go to digital systems design uk (Scorpion BDX) and cp art credits go to www.leafstation.com (http://www.leafstation.com) (google: Mamestation)

I am new to all of this (arcade machines and forums) so go easy on me  :)

Solid,

Not bad - Overall I like it! Do you have any plans for the area above the monitor and below the speakers? Also, how's the angle on that marquee? Maybe it's just the picture, but the angle looks a bit odd. It's good to see that you didn't do the same huge design that a lot of people go with. It's looks very manageable as far as fitting in a smaller space, and able to be moved by one person. Any plans for sideart?

One thing however; you should have posted this in the Projects area...

Originaly thats where the speakers were going but will just put some instructions there now i guess, linewas followed in with the bottom of the cab so should be parrallel to the bottom front panel so i guess it is the picture. The size is ideal for what i need it for as it is going to sit in my parents house. no plans for sideart at the moment might just leave it blank after painting.
Solid,
