I'm finaly finished (pic)
 

Took about 4 months of working on it in my spare time. Moving it into the gameroom tomorrow and putting in the 27inch monitor, the pc, the rockford fosgate speakers & sub, the control panel, the marquee light, and the xbox.

It started out as a set of plans and 3 sheets of MDF board. Havent decided on artwork for the marquee, but anyway here it is:

Rockford Fosgate? XBox? In THAT? Sound good :thumbsup

COOL BRO CONGRATS! :thumbsup

yeah.. I went a little overboard with the components :winkwink:

got the xbox plus the PC and 4200 arcade games on MAME & other emulators

This thing is a little over 6 feet tall and about 33 inches wide

Looks great. :thumbsup

Nice work, now go and get the guts to MsPacman and invite us over.

Get yourself a car amp, you can power it with an old PC power supply. :glugglug

looks nice , post some pics when Xbox and screen are at place

Congrats now play some Xbox




tb :banana

nice !! :thumbsup

I have an original pacman sitting in my gameroom, with a mod to also play ms pacman, plus a speed mod that make you go 3x faster while the ghost stay thier normal speed :)

Emulators?!?! Bahh. Make that sucker into a full jamma cab. Or get yourself a 6 slot neogeo board.

I hope thats not a 27 inch tv. The clarity is crap on them. Get yourself a Wells Gardner 27inch.

Grabb your controls from Happs also. They make awsome joysticks if you like the microswitch types. Personaly I dont(dont care for the clicking feel). I like the old leaf switch ones. I grabed a few out of some old arcades that were being tossed. Slapped on some new leafs and gave them a nice alcohol swabbing and they were good as new.

Thats a nice cab by the way.

I've got a 65watt amp going in.. should be plenty loud? probably way louder than i need for video games

Its a Happ's VisonPro 27inch Monitor, not a TV

Good deal. I hate it when I see cabs made with tv's in them. To much bleeding occurs.

Have you picked a layout yet for your controls?

right now I'm using the x-arcade 2 player console while the SlikStik CO2 is being built

http://www.slikstik.com/detail.aspx?ID=9

Will be using wireless controllers for the xbox

$589.95?!?! OMG. That thing better have gold inlays.

Ive never used the X-arcade. You should look into building one of your own. You would not beleive the money you would save.

man it would take me another month or two to get it built, plus its hot in the garage now since the days are consistently over 100 degrees and just getting hotter. Its time for poolside BBQ and videogame tournaments with my buddies

VEGAS WEBMASTER GET TOGETHER AT PHEER'S!

Good shit man! I can't wait to see the final product! :thumbsup

Sounds like a decent project.. are you really going to want to stand for hours and play xbox though? :D

hell no, thats what barstools are for :thumbsup

um...it looks like an arcade machine thingy

holy shit people... we have a winner!!!

Aren't you as sharp as a tack! :thumbsup

Fucking awesome!

I've been planning to build a similar thing for years, but I never get to it..........

:thumbsup

Cool looking cab. Did you buy the plans....could you post them or email them to me. I have a couple that I am going to use for reference so far. - Just got my Hot Rod SE - not bad for $99

Get the fuck outta here!! That is bad ass!

Do you do Mame emulator type stuff too? That cabinet would lend itself really well to playing the old school arcade games.

Wow, cool!

nice work MrPheer....really nice...congrats

Can't wait to see it, everything all together.

Where do you sit?

Wow great job! That thing is going to rock when you finish it. One problem though.....you are never going to get any more work done because you will be playing it all the time.

nice

congrats dude!

looks nice..:thumbsup

thats fucking cool.. nice work.

it looks great, good job !! :thumbsup

very nice ... you're one dedicated gamer :winkwink:

nice

yeah thats why I built it, for mame
I was buying arcade games, got pacman and digdug then i decided to just do an all in one cabinet, so now I have like 4200 mame games, plus nintendo & sega emulators, and a video capture card so I can play xbox on this thing to

yes I bought the plans from mameroom.com

you can buy the plans like I did and build it yourself, or you can buy the kits that he just started selling for like $300 plus shipping. I wish he had the kits when I started on mine, it would have saved alot of time. Took me longer to cut out all the pieces than anything else... plus that MDF makes alot of dust that just coats everything in the garage.

what made you do this? weird but cool....
