hindsight is 20/20

<< < (4/8) > >>

drventure:
I think my biggest hindsight issue is that I didn't make my CP top hinged. Originally, the plan was for it to be a "stow in the closet" type thing, and there wouldn't be a cabinet (so it'd be easy enough to just go in from the bottom), but the plan changed after I'd built the CP, and I just didn't feel up to rebuilding the whole dang thing.

At least I know better for the next time :)

Why do you regret this?  Is it too crammed?  Or you just don't use it enough?

Mainly lack of use.  Track and Field is still fun on the cocktail cab with two people wedged side by side on the 3rd panel but 99% of the time it is used in normal cocktail mode for classic verticals like Donkey Kong and Ms PacMan.  If all I had was the cocktail cab then I would feel different about the 3rd side CP, but having an upright cab makes it feel unnecessary.

Thanks, I started a thread specifically around this top as to not dilute this thread on a 3rd side cocktail cab debate here:

The admin button shelf, yeah.  It needs to be flush with the control panel for bowling and golf games.

I like the 3rd side to my cocktail, but it is fairly large and makes playing 2 player games with my girlfriend a lot of fun...

I would hate not having it, to be honest..
