Title: The Executive Cade?
Post by: RayB on August 23, 2005, 04:18:02 pm

Has anyone ever bothered to make an "executive style" game cabinet?

Picture this... (cocktail machine): High gloss red cherry wood, with green marble control panels and brass t-molding.  ;D  Perfect for the CEO's office.

I would think a filing cabinet... the first "drawer" would house the monitor and 3rd drawer would house the modular control panel....   the cpu, hard drive, mobo, etc would be housed in the bottom... well ventilated of course....

Just go to a nice furniture store. Buy the most expensive nice looking thing you can find.

And build it out of that. :)

I picture the top glass being made out of a two way mirror so when it is off, it looks like a simple mirrored table.

This can be done with tinted plexi, been one of those "ooh-ahh" computer mods that circle around.
