I am looking at making a wireless arcade cabinet type of unit to play arcade on my tv.  Basically I want it to be like the control panel down on a stand up, but somehow make it foldable or collapsable.  I have seen arcades in coffee tables and have seen bartops but I want something I can tuck away into a closet when not in use. I am wondering if there is any cabinets out there that are foldable, or some sort of tables people have made? I am searching with little luck.. trying to get some ideas..if you can help with links or suggestions please feel free to drop me a line.  I would appreciate it.

thanks
Jim

The Benderama folds... Might not be exactly what you are looking for though.

Bender:
One of the first projects I came across was like that, basically c CP with sides that folded down to make a stand
Its been so long a can't remember the link, but I do think it was someone from this forum :dunno

I think something like that would be great for a Home Theater setup

Hey
I have seen the benderma, its cool but I am more after like a full standup but only the bottom half......like a pedestal kinda thing that folds and can be put into a closet... Using the large screen as a monitor like home theatre setup.

You may be able to adapt a fold-able/portable bar plan for that purpose.

I've seen two types:

Ones with hinges on the sides and top, so those parts can fold flat against the front when in use.
They use latches to keep them secure when it's in use.

Another strategy is to make a fairly heavy base with slots that all the walls slide into.
Then the top would also be slotted to stay in place on top the walls.

No idea how reliable they are, but you could hack wireless controllers to make it wireless.
