Plans for Pedastal?

[Demon-Seed]

Hello
Since my wife my not allow a full arcade I was considering a pedestal hooked up to a lcd tv....then i can move the pedestal..looking for something solid yet compact or compactable....has anyone tried this or seen plans?

thx

Instead of a pedestal, I'd build a big square box and put her in it. 

I want to build some kind of base for my bartop. All I wanted was a game I could set on a desk and play, then when I built it, I wanted it so I could stand at it like a "real" game.

Hey.,
Yea I have thought about an arcade in a box as well..I may go that route...however I want something that I can stand up and play as if it is a real game...some kind retractable legs or something.....  after speaking with the Mrs. she is now saying its ok to build a mame cabinet again..however..i do think that the direct to 40" lcd would be kool.. decisions, decisions.

thx

I suggested the same thing to my friend but he hasn't pulled the trigger yet.  I did find showcase plans on http://www.jakobud.com/ look for 34" Dynamo showcase.  I was thinking you could just build the pedestal portion and put some tilt wheels on it so you can wheel it out of the way when you weren't playing.
