Unique cab announcement
« on: November 17, 2004, 11:23:11 am »
I finally built a cabinet ;D

http://www.2fiddles.com/arcade/uncabMain.html

I neglected to upload the construction photo this AM, so that page is picture less for now, but I'll probably get that working tonight.

Anyway, this cab is a solution to the space challenged home. It stands about 24" tall. The CP is not attached, so I either put it on a coffee table or set it on my lap or sit on the floor to play.

It's actually a fully functional computer, and I'll probalby play PC games on it too. I'm considering putting a network card in it and using for a web browser too, since that's already a part of windows.

I put casters on it, so I can roll it into the living area to play games, and roll it into the office for storage. The initial concept was a table top game, but it's too heavy.

I still need to finish the wood and drill some holes in the front panel to let the sound out, and attach the loose pieces.

Wow.

Looks almost like a MAME console patterned after a Vectrex.

Awesome!

Hahahaha, is that a logitech marble trackball?

That tiny cab is so cute. Reminds me of those pocket cabinets in the 80s with pacman on them. I wonder if anyone has ever gutted one of those and put mame on it... Surely someone as? Looks like I have a google task for today.
