Hoagie_one:

Apollo:
If you are interested I should have plans for this within a couple of weeks, just got to measure up when I get a chance.

--- Quote from: DemonBrew on January 17, 2005, 12:57:29 pm ---I'm looking to build my first cabinet. My plan was to copy the Project Arcade / Lusid's Arcade Flashback cab as my first, for simplicity. Turns out, the basement I plan to install this in has only 6' 4" ceiling height. I don't want to take off a foot off the bottom of the cab, thereby making the controls way too low. But, I also don't want to make a mini-cabinet that only kids could use. I'm also not interested in a bar-top or cocktail table design.

Anyone know of projects that have already addressed this problem?

You can just make little modification to an existing set of plans... (somehow)
There are a bunch of plans over at jakobuds site... Go check 'em out, maybe some of them are the size you need...

Take a look at my cabinet:

It may give you some ideas. I built it to be small, but not a children's cab. The height of the CP is about 1m.  Normal height.

You can make it deeper and wider to fit a bigger screen and CP. Or you can modify the plans to include a separated CP, as in Stuzza's project:

Other than that, you can wait for Apollo's plans. His cab look very nice indeed. And if you don't care for a lowboy at all, I'm sure a lot of the classic cabs would fit in your basement.

DemonBrew:
Awesome. Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I was using the search feature, but was looking under "short" or "ceiling" or "small".
