This was my first real build, I built a terrible stand up about 4 years ago.... but i pretend that did not happen.
Got a bunch of stuff from GGG, used laminated particle board.. big mistake! next time will be MDF
Running off a 23" lcd, and a crappy 6 year old compaq laptop!
Original idea based off of a ms pacman machine, just a little more narrow.

Removed some of the black t-molding and put on green and yellow, thinking about going with a Green Bay Packers theme
Also got some cool adjustable stools from ikea for $20 each
Not my best build, but i learned A LOT!
Next i will be installing a coing door!
-
looking very good!!!
I think I may do a cocktail after I finish my stand up cab....

Thanks! it does take up more room, but the wife likes playing it with me..... so i cant complain

Looks good!
I also built a terrible stand up some years back, it was a lot of trial and error back then. The game looked like crap, but converted nicely into a rolling cabinet for my garage. hahaha

I like the color scheme! I looks like your control panel is going to fall off. Also, how do you keep the glass from falling off? And are you going to put a bottom on the control panel?

the part that looks like its falling off is just poor craftsmanship :( I'm working on improving the wood working skills! I am looking for something to cover the cabling probably some metal fabrication. As for the glass I am going to have a friend fabricate nice clips, paying $30+ shipping for original cocktail clips is kind of crazy to me :(
