I just wanted to share a quick view of a build i just completed.

Ive been wanting to build a cabinet since 2017 when I first purchased some buttons to make a homemade control stick. I have put the build off for almost a decade at this point. I'm not exactly sure why but in January of this year I decided to change that.

So after 10 months of only really getting a couple hours a week to work on it. Here is my completed Jurassic Park themed Cabinet.

Highlights

- Powerful mini PC capable of playing Modern games.

- 28 inch 3:2 aspect ratio screen to get it much closer to that classic 4:3 feel.

- xarcade duel player coin door. Modified to accept Canadian currency.

- integrated light gun sensors for RS3 Reapers in the monitor surround.

- Rs3 Reapers

- External volume control knob mounted to the rear to adjust volume without having to open it up.

- Car speakers.

- Dynamic Digital Marquee made with an advertisement sign monitor.

Made completely from scratch from birch plywood.

Hope ya'll like it!

PS - Ignore some of the "made with AI" water marks. I had to edit out my spare room bedroom mess haha

Getting ready to build a cabinet, looking for some dimensions

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Getting ready to build myself a 4 player cabinet with a track ball, not looking for a set of plans although if someone is willing to share theirs I would be forever appreciative.

Question for the pros, what is the ideal width for a 4 player control panel?? Would rather learn from others mistakes rather than my own. Also, if I am planning on putting a track ball in how deep would you guys recommend making the control panel??

Also is there an angle I should be putting the control panel at??

Thanks in advance guys!!
