LuSiD has me pulling my hair out!
Bill Mote:
OK, so I'm building my 1st MAME cabinet. YEAH! :-* I'm using both the "Project Arcade" book, the information on-line at LuSiD's site and the many, many, many helpful posts in the forums.
Here's my problem. There just isn't enough wood in 3 sheets of 3/4" MDF to build LuSiD's design. His cabinet is 6'2" tall, but his "back" boards are a whopping 36" in total -- 26" wide and 18" tall each for the top and bottom section. I finally figured out that the drawings don't account for the 3-1/8" the sides sit below the "real" bottom (inside) on the cabinet. The angled top takes off some, but I'm still left with ~55" of cabinet back to cover.
Am I missing something?!

hmmm i have no idea, good luck =P thats why i decided to buy an old cab for 25$ and save myself the headache
Goz:
Hmmm I thought the Lusid cab didn't have a closed back to accomodate for TV and cooling.
Guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
spystyle:
I had to quit glue too, sadness...
You're saying you don't have enough 3/4" material for a back door? You don't need 3/4" material for a back door, go buy a sheet of 1/4" inexpensive material* and you should be all set. Or simply leave the back open for passive cooling of the components (that's what I do).
Dig it?

*like 1/4" hardboard braced with strapping.

According to this thread, there is no back
