Whoa, buzz-kill. Wade I can tell you that many people do see the slim cabinet size as an advantage, the goal here was to make it slim but still retro-arcade like. So you think the cabinet above looks 'badly proportioned'? That really bothers me, considering the time I spent designing it. As for being tippy, it isn't, as I said already.
I may be underestimating how many people see it as an advantage. I'm just going by the people I know who are into games, and practically all of them have multiple games, so shaving 6" of depth from the back is just insignificant. The average age on this forum may be a bit younger than me and there may be a lot more apartment dwellers, too, or may be planning or expecting to move. Again, not among the gamers I know, but that could be different than most people on this forum.
Don't read too much into it - the only thing that makes the proportions look bad is the depth, IMO. Otherwise, it looks very sharp. I just expect upright video games to have more of a square footprint. It's just what I'm used to, I guess.
Keep in mind that I have a dozen classic videos and pins, a 650 lb racing game and a 4-player 1500 lb racing game, all in my basement and moved down piece by piece (the only way to get the larger games down there). So I'm probably on the wrong end of the scale when it comes to considering movability or practicality.
Again, very nice job. I'm obviously in the minority here, and I any time someone does something different there will be people who aren't fans of it. Different strokes for different folks.
TTYL,
Wade
