So a friend told me he likes arcade cabs, but does not have the room for a big standup cab. I told him I could make a small bartop, with al the old games he likes.
I told him I could, but I never touched a jigsaw in my life. But that was the beginning of a new vertical bartop.
So I bought 10 mm mdf, wich I thought should be enough for a small bartop, en started drawing

and no, I didn't had a design, I just put the parts there, so I knew I had enough space. And draw around it.
Ok, most of the parts cut

Jigsawed an old bezel to make it fit in this one.

It is not perfect, but for a first time project I'm pretty happy with the result.
Now I have to wait for some more parts before I can continue.
Plans:
- bondo it and sand it
- paint it black
- simple ARCADE marquee
- wire it, 17" lcd and 60 in 1 jamma board
- maybe a coin acceptor on the side
- play it
