That's not a bad looking cabinet.
I gave up on the cupholder idea and just put the glasses right on my CP. Nobody ever gets so enthusiastic that we've had a spill, and there was really no good way to build a cupholder for a martini glass, anyway.

It one that i drew out in Illustrator last year...( I made a model to decide what t-molding & artwork to go with) I kept it just incase I needed it ....
But serousily....where can i find cup holders... :laugh2:

I got my flip down cup holder for my old mame cabinet from a store that carries boat parts. They were just plain black ones and they flipped up closed when not in use. I have seen something similar at walmart as well.

Rugged, cheap, don't block anything (spindly!), hold a beer bottle, tumbler, plastic cup, etc.

I'm using boat cup holders in mine. All you have to do is cut a hole in your pannel and these drop right in.
check out ebay - boat cup holders

Doesn't the PC come with a cup holder already?

Happ controls has cupholders: http://www.happcontrols.com/accessories/27142200.htm
I have 4 of them for mine, but they're not installed yet.

Well, i was going to do one of these when i got back, but now that someone's already done it... :cry:
Okay... I will probably still do it ;D
That one lacks a bit of style :afro:
I also don't think that comment about the PC already having a cupholder got the appreciation it deserves, so...
:applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
Seriously, it almost depends on what type of drinks you plan on having most frequently. I prefer chilled, handled mugs of beer in pint and liter(yes, one liter) sizes full of frosty, condensation-forming brew. These require shallower coaster style "cup holders". :cheers:

i bought some flip down style cup holders at walmart for around $3. they work great for cans..but not much else. i do have a chuck e cheese token cup i keep my tokens in, that usually sits in one of the cupholders

These are what I have installed on my cabinet. The frozen mugs will fit in them too, just not all the way down. Some of the best money I spent in my gameroom. I have one on my pinball too, but it came attached to a bracket that you attach with the bolts that hold the front leg on.
