Hi consolas, yes it's all mdf sides are 18 mm to suit the T mold, and the rest is 12 mm just trying to keep the weight down.

Yay, another jahilton2002 build! Subscribed!

Thank you for the kind reply. Just spotted your site - amazing projects. How do you make the mdf look like that - all glassy and shinning?

Amazing job on the street fighter! Love it! What "game" are you running there? (pc street fighter, a concealed xbox, what?)

Awesome job - amazing to believe it was your first one!

That is a sweet jig saw but even with that it still requires a steady hand and some skillz. Great job! Look forward to seeing this one come together.

Dale87 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 04, 2013, 06:45:54 pm »

Wow

this looks amazing. Been thinking of starting a bartop build sometime soon, would be my first time attempting anything like this (complete novice). But seeing project like this on here are inspiring. Good luck with the rest of the build can't wait to see the finished result.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 05, 2013, 09:33:08 pm »

Just an update here..... we are still around....life just caught up for a moment.......and we are also planning new cabs.... so here's a little update with the artwork we plan to use on the Bartop Arcade. The side wont have artwork as such, it will be wrapped in carbon fibre.

Thanks

sabreerbasAlpha · « **Reply #36 on:** April 06, 2013, 06:30:16 am »

Your Work is so professional and clean. loved the first Two cabs you built and this is looking sweet also. Are you looking to sell when finished?. or are you keeping this one?.

Superfrog · « **Reply #37 on:** April 06, 2013, 06:32:15 am »

You are a Ace man... great MDF skills.

Love to see the end result

DeathDealer · « **Reply #38 on:** April 06, 2013, 11:37:52 am »

how about some pictures that show the side better, the dimension please! looks great!!

I have all the material to build my own bartop, but time and a good design were holding me back. love the shape of your bartop, just need a better picture from the side please.

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 06, 2013, 04:58:37 pm »

Side profile and dimensions.

we might keep this for a while as we hope to do as display stand at an upcoming expo event..... if we have enough interest we'd like to go into production...... but it will most likely just be bare bones cabs (excluding pc hardware).

at the moment we are just testing and prototyping really...... the cabs will tend to be custom-offs with some sort of theme.
