Simple, not gaudy, not overdone.  :cheers:

Agreed.  It is well proportioned and has fantastic artwork to boot.

Yes, excellent proportions, just the controls the user needs, well-planned artwork that's an actual theme. Nice!

I'll never mess with a traditional cabinet again, barring some $50 deal on a working classic.  I've been slowly gathering pieces and hardware for a pedestal.  Don't go any smaller than a 42" screen.

KIguy:
I used JakoBud's Dynamo Showcase plans as a guide for the one I'm building. http://www.jakobud.com/plan.php?id=36 Just nix the back half and call it a day. I believe somebody else here said that the dimensions actually were incorrect, so keep in mind you'll want to "measure twice, cut once" if you go this route.

And agreed with pbj. Unless you're only going to be a foot or two away from the screen, go at least 42". Remember that the 90s fighters had 25-27" screens and our eyeball sockets were what, maybe 16" away? Food for thought  :burgerking:

sofakng:
42" ?!?

Wow!  How far are you guys standing away from the screen?

I was in Best Buy earlier looking at the 32" screens standing about a two or three feet back and it seemed quite big!

Paul Olson:
Once you add in the bezel art, the actual game screen is not all that big on a 46" TV. This one is about the original size, and it looks and plays the best at that size.
