Building custom arcade cabinet

I have no means to pick a bone with paig, but you have no idea if I have sold one or not.. for you to say "now way" tells me you don't know what your talking about now.  For the record, it works 100%  ;)
If guys only new.. but no matter what what I say at this point, it won't matter.
Never state something you do not know, your credibility is meaningless to me now... (no offense), but I know the feeling is mutual  ;D

I came here for the first to find some guidance, which I did.. which I am also thankful for.  But its remarks that I have mentioned previously that leave a bad taste in mouth and for obviously reasons think twice before I announce another project...

Paig, one more thing.. because "I cannot sell this" and to you people won't buy this "microwave stand" funny thing thing is.. I am actually in the middle of making a 4-payer arcade with 2 tanksticks... question you need to ask yourself is... do you really know what your talking about?..
I think not  :burgerking:

I never started any name calling.. I actually thought it would be fun to post my pics.. but its people like you that will give this great forum a bad name.. not to mention others (which I do not want to get into again)

In the case of the original poster, his project was already finished it, I only spoke up because there is absolutely no way he can sell that, and starting some sort of business plan to do so would just be a lot of money wasted on TV stands.

So while the name calling was uncalled for some of the criticism was honestly very rude (and uncalled for as well).

Discussions like this only serve to make the entire forum look bad.

Just my $.02

what?!?!? you can't have fun doing a side business WT :censored: you talking about... that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard!  :laugh2:
Do you think before you wright something, or are you one of those guys who shoots first, thinks after...  :laugh2:
All this started for fun, just for me... but I had no intention to sell these, but if people what them, why would I stop.   I am having fun building these for clients "Man Cave"

You guys sure sound ridiculous more and more to me now... lol
I am actually getting a kick out of all these comments...

Jason... I wouldn't even waste time responding to this thread.. some "nobody" will try to shred you and break your spirits.  Please don't take this as me telling you what to do, just don't want other new comers (like myself) going through this BS...

I've been here 3+ years and seen a lot, my friend. I've seen new guys come and go, many with great ideas, some with not so great ones. The best ones have thick skin and respond well to all kinds of criticism. They understand not every cabinet deserves a gold star. This isn't kindergarten.

Keep showing your true colors OP.

I have probably sold 75-100 games in just the last year alone. I have been doing games for a long, long time. I absolutely come off as a jerk when I am giving advice sometimes, but it doesn't mean I don't know what I am talking about. There is simply no way you can possibly sell what you presented here to an INFORMED consumer and still have any kind of profit margin. Not when you have other guys with CNC setups that can cut a much better looking cabinet in 1/4 the time at a lower cost.

The controls in those tanksticks are among the lowest quality available. Did you know that? Does your customer know that? Were they presented with any options? Is your customer aware that the low cost widescreen LCD monitor you are no doubt offering is both the wrong aspect ratio for everything other than modern console games and may (depending on brand) interject as much as a 3 frame input lag compared to a CRT monitor or a proper gaming lcd monitor. Did you know that?

Also, I won't sell a mame cabinet with a computer already in it anymore. I want the buyer to completely understand that they are not purchasing the games from me. Both because I have no right to sell them and because they can and will come back months or years later when the frontend or windows stops working and expect you to fix it for them for free. If they add their own computer then that becomes their problem, not mine.
