I got some vesa mounts from newegg the other day and I like this setup better, the tilt is nice. I'm thinking about throwing it all together, wiring everything up and giving it a full test run just for the hell of it.

No, you poor fool! Countless cabinets have been lost to that very same urge! Do not give in!

Fantastic build so far, really looking forward to the end result!

This for the win. Nothing kills forward progress on an arcade project quite like, "I'll just fire it up to 'test' it".

There is NEVER enough testing

looks great so far. your cp and bezel combo came out amazing. almost cut my leg off the other day attempting the same thing with my circular saw.

Looking good LT. Glad to see you came out of retirement.

...I'd really like to try and build some nice woodworking projects but arcade machines are stuck in my head for now. I want to make a jewelry box for my daughter and a coffee table for the living room and I'd like to make a nice wooden chest. I hope this is my last build, only so I can build something else, but it won't be.
It's still fun, so no big loss.

I've been tossing ideas around in my head how to combine some of these projects. Was thinking a corner arcade with one of those adhesive coin door images that opens under-neath to reveal a liqueur (or whatever) cabinet. I started out intending to do end tables for the couch but I butchered the corner miters with my newly purchased "miter" saw. Thinking I stand a better chance with miter box...

That stained wood looks good, my friend!

wp34 · « **Reply #51 on:** January 26, 2014, 09:52:06 pm »

Looks great! I like that you stained the sides rather than use vinyl or laminate.

Man oh man that little thing looks so sweet!

Can't wait to see the final pics. I'm so close to the end on mine as well. I really love the stained wood effect - there's just something about how nice it looks. I went with that stained wood vs laminate and while it wasn't easy getting it done, I wouldn't change it at all (my build thread is linked in my sig).

Again, very nice job.

Louis-

You gotta stop changing the title on this, man! It's throwing me off!

Oops.
I didn't even think about it, man. It doesn't really have a name like my other piles.

Seriously? Pile? This is a clean looking cabaret. Good work. Heinrich Tessenow said it best. "The simple is not always best, but the best is always simple."

Vidiot · « **Reply #59 on:** January 31, 2014, 08:53:48 am »

This thing is really cool! I love the size, shape, and the wood finish is great!
Also, I personally like the artwork too.

Great job.

Oh no! I think it's awesome. I got a huge smile on my face when I saw it. Use it all you want.

I'd really like to build a small cabaret cab like yours someday. I love the natural wood look on a cabaret.

Cheers.

Hey, that's a sharp lil cab you got there!

BAMBOO · « **Reply #64 on:** January 31, 2014, 11:33:10 pm »

Louis I love it man. It looks so old school and awesome. I would kill to have one of these.

Meph · « **Reply #65 on:** February 01, 2014, 08:39:04 am »

I really like this little cab. I have some friend wanting either a 60 in 1 or a Mame but they all complain about the space. I have been thinking of building a cabaret. This is a nice compact design and looks nice. Great job.

Meph · « **Reply #66 on:** February 01, 2014, 08:39:59 am »

Oh and I forgot to ask, how limited are you on that 60 in 1 with only one button?

I like the artwork on the front of the cab. That's a nice touch. The black and white color scheme looks great as well.

This looks great. I like the single piece of plexi.

Much, much better!

nitz · « **Reply #73 on:** February 03, 2014, 02:04:18 am »

Man I love this cab - it's very clean, compact, the staining looks great, and joining the monitor bezel with the cp is a great idea. Very nice retro looking cabaret, top notch all around.

Just curious, what's the height on this thing from the bottom to the uppermost point? Looks to be about 4 feet based on your blueprints in the first post.

Also, where'd you get that speaker grill?

Thanks so much for taking the time to take measurements, post pictures, and post 3 links! Very helpful.

I concur. Though really, either of them would look great on the cab.

Generic Eric · « **Reply #78 on:** February 05, 2014, 09:55:27 pm »

Where do you play this machine? With the unique top, I am wondering how this plays in a well lit room? Too bright? Or do you play in a dark room?

Real neat cab.
