Looking for ideas...
plantkingdom:
My first cab. It's very humble compared to what I've seen here and I realize I'm going to catch hell for using an X-Arcade. Question is, what would you do to this cabinet if you had limited funds/skill? It's also not deep enough to house a CRT tv or arcade monitor. As far as LCD goes, this is the biggest square one I could find at 19 inches. I realize the drawer is open a little bit too, sorry about that.
Just looking for some constructive criticism. Maybe I should just leave it alone?

If it does what you want it to, leave it be. :cheers:
Otherwise, plan a brand new scratch build, and transplant the guts.

If it were me I'd think about adding

> bigger flat monitor/less bezel?
either by selling the xarcade part and then getting the parts I'd
want and building my own, or salvaging from the xarcade itself.
I actually don't mind the xarcade, but I'd want it to look more integrated.

The design is not bad. Here is what I would do:
* Larger LCD.
* Paint glass black so only screen shows.
* paint glass retaining bolts black, or eliminate them all together.
* Get rid of the keyboard drawer. They are not necessary and look stupid.
* Make a proper control panel, even if you reuse some of the arcade components. (Or sell it)
SpatzST:
im no pro like some people on here, but it looks good, aside from the x-arcade stick being really out of place. Maybe figure out a new way to integrate it into your build? submerge the lower portion of the x-arcade into the design so its a big more flush maybe?
or just start a whole new one :) thats fun too
