2 players 4 butons Mini pacman

[Denverlatino]

Inspired on the famous minimame.com i build my own mini PAC man for 2 players and 4 butons each, the reason i did only 4 butons is because computer its a p3 1000 MHz with 256 ram , so some of the cps2 games don't run very well, plus i did a vertical screen set up so classic games like PAC man or galaga will have full screen display ,
anyway I'm not very good explaining how i did everything so here are a bunch of pictures...



here's the start, cut the cheap cheap wood in my own room
sides are 2 by 4 feet so its pretty small  but a nice size for kids


ass soon ass i got everything in place i mounted the computer guts and the monitor
and  guess what , it work




decided to mount computer guts in the top , instead of inside the box like everyone
Why? Don't know, just thought it was cool



bought this sheet of plastic ware, really don't know what the name in English is and i glued the thing to the wood, that way i don't have to worry about paint or vinyl artwork




installed some leads for lights at top


here's how it looks the whole thing with controllers and all




bought some chrome t molding at a local wood store


and it looks nice, too bad they didn't have the orange t molding


looks nice for me


i printed a marque from localarcade.com thanks to the creator of the marquee for the good work


and here's me and the finished cab...
not bad...

Pictures look crappy Cu's i took them with my wife cellphone
so there was no flash...

Any comments or ideas are very appreciated.

Nice work!  How tall is that thing? 

The plastic stuff is called laminate - how did you get it to bond to the wood after you assembled it?  Did you cut it to size and then glue it on or did you oversize it and trim it back after applying it? 

I love the mini cabs!

Nice cab! Still, do yourself a favor and get a bigger monitor. Maybe some bezel art? Still, I love those scale versions

the size is 2 by 4 feet so i used a half sheet  for the sides, on the laminate i cutted  the laminate sheet , glued the thing with a bottle of glue on spray, then trimmed the rest, laminate was 3mm  thick.

Because of the size of the cab, a bigger monitor its not an option for me, i did the vertical set up cus i designed the thing for older games mostly, pc man galaga ans so on, bezel art , maybe i will, thanks for watching...
