    Default Arcade Cabinets

    Couple of arcade cabinets for my kids for Christmas.
    Still waiting for marquee graphic to show up for the upright one so I can finish it.

    Neat cabinets Mike. I'm sure you kids will love them, and tell all the neighbour kids, and they will all come over to play on these machines. ;-)

    Great Job,

    I've always liked arcade cabinets. I've been thinking of an entertainment center styled like one.

    Regards
    I don't always indulge in evil scientific research...but when i do. I make the parts on a ShopBot.

    Nice cabinets! I always considered myself one of the groundbreakers of the video game movement - I used to play Pong! How old does that make me?

    I use the x-arcade www.xgaming.com panels in all my cabinets,
    I make my own panel layout and transfer the buttons, joystick and trackballs over,
    X-Arcade also sells the items separately, but occasionally they have a good sale that make purchasing the whole panel cheaper
    They also have an lifetime warranty.

    There is a company http://www.arcadeguns.com that sells light guns, I've yet to use them but plan on installing on my next cabinet

    Cheers

    Mike

    I've always wanted to do one of the enclosed/driving cabinets

    i bought my 14 year old daughter a ps3 for christmas, and a copy of Grand Turismo XL. I also have a really nice Logitech G27 steering wheel, that has the wheel, shifter, and foot pedals. I am going to make a custom seat, to mount all 3 pieces, and put it on recessed casters so she can park it in front of the tv.

    Once i get it done i'll figure out how to post up the files for everyone.
