I'm planning to build an arcade machine with a 42" TV and standing that close to it was really not enjoyable. I wound up feeling perfect at about 4.5-5 feet away, pushing me towards building a dynamo/showcase cab. How does it feel to play on that machine when you are so close?

Here's a better pic of the over all. About the guns... The wifey and I are uspsa action pistol shooters and the ones displayed are what she and I shoot depending on the division...

Its 5' tall with the contol panel surface @ 30", width of the machine minus the CP is 13 1/2". W/cp 31" & including the cup holders add another 6" ALl heald together with just wood glue.
