Australian style cocktail cab
Raven..:
I sold one like that with a bootleg Ms Pac in it for $200. They're pretty neat because the legs extend far enough for a short person (like my wife) to stand and play.

I was going to make something like this until my partner and I worked out that we don't have enough space for one :P At least my bartop is coming along nicely :)

im glad my memories lie with the other type of 'aussie' cab :)
still, it looks quite do-able. the type i made required a jigsaw, drill and router only (and some dodgy cabinet making practices!) granted the type above looks a LITTLE trickier to do but i reckon you could get away with borrowing any extra tools required. happy building!!

It shouldn't be too difficult - the ends are verticals, and only the sides are angled. With a circular saw that can be titled to cut angles, those parts shouldn't be too tough, assuming the measuring stage is done accurately.
Grasshopper:
Those "Australian style" cabs were quite common here in the UK as well, and I have to say they were pretty uncomfortable to use.
I agree with the other comments and suggest you go with a horizontal control panel.
