For a street fighter cab, I like the one on the right.

Bender · « **Reply #2 on:** January 10, 2011, 09:50:45 am »

1/8th or 1/4 MDF?

not sure just yet..... these were just made from scrap i have in the workshop

Donkbaca · « **Reply #5 on:** January 10, 2011, 12:45:15 pm »

I like the one on the right better, but I am more a angle guy than a curve guy when it comes to design

opt2not · « **Reply #6 on:** January 10, 2011, 12:48:35 pm »

Looks good. I like the right one better than the Left .

Though I would have gone with replicating a Dynamo cabinet, either Z-back or straight:

Back then, most Street Fighter kits were installed in dynamo cabinets.
At 1/8th the size, a dynamo cab would look pretty cool!

Termin8tor · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2011, 01:18:45 pm »

Its the one on the right for me

Yeah I think a dynamo would look great.. I tried to find some plans once but to no joy :'(

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 18, 2011, 04:49:55 pm »

More updates

but still no comments?

Erik · « **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2011, 07:15:03 pm »

Looks like it's coming together nicely. I like the curves at the bottom. Where are the speaker grills from?

Donkbaca · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2011, 07:43:54 pm »

I agree, it all looks very clean and straight

yotsuya · « **Reply #25 on:** January 18, 2011, 08:57:42 pm »

I like how you have the back as one piece.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 19, 2011, 03:21:56 am »

thx for the comments guys, the speaker grills are just from an old set of hifi speakers.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:09:46 am »

Here's some more updates.... happy birthday to my uncle who is the master behind the cab build

Nephasth · « **Reply #28 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:42:29 am »

I like that hinged keyboard tray.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 22, 2011, 02:10:00 pm »

more updates

DirtyDachshunds · « **Reply #30 on:** January 22, 2011, 02:29:10 pm »

I also really like the hinged keyboard tray idea. I wish this thread was around before I started my cab, I woulda done my keyboard tray the same way.

Looking good.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #31 on:** January 22, 2011, 02:45:19 pm »

thx for the comments guys, feedback means alot so plz keep em comin'

Nephasth · « **Reply #32 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:00:48 pm »

Are you waiting to cut the t-molding channels in this cab? Or is this not going to have t-molding? I know you asked about red t-molding in another thread, but not sure if it was for this project or another game you might have.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:05:02 pm »

yes it going to have t-mould and red like you said....

The cabinet looks really nice. I'd really think twice about installing all of those buttons on the control panel......less is much better when it comes to control panels.....IMO

Agreed.

Donkbaca · « **Reply #37 on:** January 28, 2011, 12:53:55 pm »

Why do you need so many buttons?

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 28, 2011, 01:06:40 pm »

i knew i was gonna get roasted for that

bottom three are pinball

8 butons per player n64/ps1/ps2/ps3

1player + start (mame)
2player + start (mame)

middle for HS fe, genre,menu,pause etc etc

my family will use it alot and i want them to be able to use the functions with having to "ask" how to use it.

i dont want to use a shift key as each buttons function is labeled, here's my cp artwork;

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 28, 2011, 01:08:42 pm »

thinking about i could put the buttons on the bottom of the monitor bezal if that makes sense
