Whats it made of? Is that t-molding? Why is there a 2x4 on the CP area?

Personally I think 3bills is a little steep for this particular item, but Im definitely saving the picture for when I start #2, I like the design and a cabaret is in the running

Also looks pretty hard to put a control panel in, and for that price, there should be a tv/monitor shelf, and SOME type of control panel (undrilled or something)

Post by: slicer_d on February 07, 2004, 11:23:43 pm: Its not that ugly but for 300 bucks its not worth it. I know where I could get a nice fully working arcade game with 25" monitor for that much but I still think thats to expensive.

Post by: Sylentwulf on February 08, 2004, 05:44:55 pm: Lemme extrapolate (big word) the TOP is ugly. I don't like cabinets that look like they're in the army (buzz cut).
The top of a classic generic, everday arcade game is supposed to stick forward, darkening the play area on the screen from overhead lights, while at the same time, allowing for a convenienct place for a marquee.

This one just....Stops.
