What an ugly beast !!!
OK, the idea seems cool. But it is SO badly done.
Those three loose speakers on top are the main spoilers. LOOKS LIKE ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- !
Then....everything is translucent, but NOT the buttons, NOT the trackball and NOT the joysticks. And look at that tasteful color lay-out of buttons. Looks like a beginning MAME cab builder !!! YUGGHHH !!
To top it off a yukkie LCD, and you've got a candidate for the HELLCADE ! !!!

I already have three of these so I can't really comment. :timebomb:

But it has free shipping today! :D
Man, that thing looks like the floor from a 70's disco.
-
its way overpriced. cheap ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- lighting in effect there, and yes , so badly done.
-
Oh god. That is tacky but might fit right in with a disco ball. But at least it has free shipping today. Hmm...

He is just the messenger..... you need to go to the manufacturer

Personally, I am all in favor of people trying out new stuff....

They should have hired Knievel to design something out of translucent material and they would have ended up with a product that people might want to spend $10k on... Instead they have something that looks like it was thrown together without any pre-planning or aesthetic considerations.
I like the idea of a translucent cabinet but that thing is just wrong...
Reminds me of these, but not as cool:

With a price like that they better own the copyrights of all the games they provide with it. Some of them are still in operation (MK comes to mind).
