Title: Watch this guy build a bartop for under $100
Post by: leapinlew on October 04, 2006, 11:34:42 pm
Watched a YouTube clip of some guys building an arcade machine. It's a rookie attempt, but it gets the job done. It's in the first 10 minutes:

Would have been far better if they'd actually shown them doing some of the building.  All they showed was 2 seconds of a plan drawing, a quick spraypaint of the plexi, and then magically everything was done.

Sorry I'm a little drunk now.  I was playing the "First things first" game and I think I drank a case of beer during the 10 minute piece.  :cheers:

Also I like that building if for 100 dollars assumes that you have a computer, monitor, tools etc just lying around collecting dust.

Yeah, no doubt... I wonder why they even felt the need to build a box. Seems like they would be satisfied with a x-arcade control panel. Just plug it into their PC or whatever console they were using...

That has to be one of the UGLIEST bartops I have ever seen...! Ugh! Sure, use the fake marble laminate, because who would ever want to touch a paint roller!  Oh well...
