My "unconventional" arcade cabinet project

<< < (3/3)

leapinlew:
With this cabinet design - I wouldn't mind seeing the speakers. A nice set of  kick-you-in-the-teeth speakers with glowing neon rings that pulse to the game sounds. Whee!

Also, some bright LED lights under the control area to light up the base of the arcade would make the cabinet look like it's floating.

Looking really cool.

LLiNRAC(as guest):
reminds me alot of a cab that used super NES controllers way back in the day.

I havent seen this site in like 4 years......
but I moved back east and there sat my un finished MAME cab.....



that I started finishing again this week.

I think the lighting ideas above would be neat, but remember to put an off switch on there too

Okay, so you made a stand-up play cocktail.  Not that it isn't neat - nice construction - but I can't see not having a 27" monitor.  (Currently, I use my 19" LCD on a rotating stand, so's I get at least 19 inches both ways, but I'm thinking hard on an arcade monitor....I love some things about LCDs, but the colors aren't quite what I'd want, and though LCDs are great for vector games, the backlighting issue overshadows this.)

Meltman01:
Its not a 27" monitor, it's a 22" Daimondtron NF and its heavy as hell.

squeem2:
Oh.  Scale can be hard to tell, sometimes.  Still, since you can't tilt it, you won't get at least standard size on vertical games (although maybe you don't play those).  Although you've got it all together, you could put a speaker on each side of the monitor; you could recess them and when you use it as a bar, you could put little plexiglass covers over them.  (I'd never use it as a bar - too much chance of accident.)
As for the weight, just means you need to come train with me.
