Title: Help Identify Bartop Cabinet
Post by: rsantos97 on January 11, 2017, 01:30:57 pm

Can someone please tell me who makes this Bartop cabinet?

That is exactly what I want to build.  The closest to it I could find is from arcadeworx.com.au, but it would cost over $800 shipped to get one here in Florida.

Going off the way the guys speaking I would say hes built it himself but its just a generic bartop nothing special there really.

Also, that isn't a bartop so much as it is a full sized cabinet with the bottom half sawed off. The industry never made anything like that at all.

Thank you fellas.  I had a feeling that was the case.  One of the main reason I like the design is because the monitor sits up higher than most of the other cabinets I have seen, where the bottom of the monitor is where the control panel is.  I also like the angle of the display because it's not so inclined.

Anyways, anyone have a lead on the adworx kit in the US?  I like how they include a bazel to fit your monitor, they even have the option for a 22" 16 x 10 monitor bazel.

My other choices would be the Cubic from GameRoomDesigns or the Berzerker from Haruman.

Quick note about  the Berzerker bartop kit.  It looks like it's only 1 player.  The video you referred to has 2 players and a trackball.

It's worth contacting Haruman to see what he can do.  Great guy.

Also, check out Szabo's Arcades.  He has a bartop kit now with custom graphics.

Lots of vendors, lots of choices!

Right, so it's exactly like all those Weecades.

Most Bartops I have seen have fairly "straight" monitor positions.

The distance between the CP and the bottom of the monitor thing though depends on the size of monitor you use.
If you use a widescreen monitor which it looks like they have in the video you will have more space above and bellow than if you used a 4:3.
Any space is then taken up by the Bezel.

Szabo seems to do good work. I would second the suggestion for him.

Also, bartops don't use a lot of wood. So you can afford to make a few screw ups when building your own.
