Title: Project Hurricade
Post by: radnads on December 16, 2005, 02:09:23 pm

Hello fellow gamers,
This is my first attempt at building an arcade.  I think it came out pretty good considering it was built during the hurricanes.  Hence  the name.  What do you all think? 

specs:
27" tv
mamewah w/buddamame, zinc, and znes
Ipac
Buttons on top are for exit and Control panel instructions
Artwork done on photoimpact and kinkos printed
Plexiglass bottom for lighting up the subwoofer that resembles a hurricane.  The light gets brighter with sound.  (needs better pictures to appreciate)

Will send more photos if interested

Well, it's all black.  How about artwork with rising water, or you could do some authentic water damage to the cabinet.  ;D
