Soda? Come on now, tell the truth... ;)
BTW, thanks to whoever posted this link: http://www.rvandvansurplus.com/cupholders.asp?Vehicletype=Marine#
I've been looking for cupholders for the cocktail cab I'm building, and there are some good options there...

Has anyone used one of these swing-out cup holders? They seem really cool and would be a neat feature in a CP - but I am worried that they look a little flimsy???

For the cup holder:
1. A full cup would put a ton of undue pressure on the tray of the CDROM. One too many uses and *CRACK* there goes your cd tray. They are very fragile all things considered, and they are only meant to support the 2 or so ounces a cd weighs.
2. A cdrom tray has NO BOTTOM. What would you put in it? You could put a styrafoam cup in it and that's about it. Everything else would have to either rest on top of the tray which is not really "holding" anything (isnt that the point?) or couldn't be used at all since it would fall right through the tray if it was small enough.

1. just had a look at mine. itll hold a full drink no probs. how long is that beer gonna stay full anyway?
2. how hard would it be fill in the hole with a plastic disk? and then a beer coaster on top so everyone knows what its for?
i reckon go for it! one for the drink, and the other for admin. maybe use those calculator keypads you get from electronic shops? or hack an old mobile phone keypad...

1. I am under age.
2. I don't plan on drinking when I am old enough.
It looks like if I remove the metal casing there is nothing above the tray. So it can be expanded upon vertically with out any problems. It can be fully reinforced and even a small lip for the holder can be installed.
I am, one way or another, going to install this into my cab. I will be sure to take pictures and tell you guys how it went when I am finished.
