Mini Arcade Cabinets

[understatement]

I have made a few arcade sticks and have always wanted to make an arcade cab but I don’t have the room, then I came across this http://hackaday.com/2009/04/15/mini-arcade-cabinets/ and now I have my new project. I hope it turns out as good as his. What should I start with NES/SNES or Genesis?



And seriously how bad ass is this?!?!

wow, they're a lot smaller than i thought they would be.
cool though.

that a good idea to use old junked psone displays!

I agree, I think he should have gone with a smaller size

Nope, they just look big. If you check out the youtube vid of him playing it, you'll see that the cabinets themselves are really small, and the knobs look just big enough to hold.

There's a guy somewhere near me that makes similar mini-arcades. Seems like they'd be cool but it would be hard working with all those small pieces (especially for someone like me with giant hands/fingers).

Amen to that. What's more, my hands shake, so putting together any electronic project (i.e., Famicom AV Mod) is always an interesting adventure involving a lot of solder where it doesn't need to be, and lots of use of that nifty solder-sucker-tube.

Needless to say, cool as these are, I'll stick with continuing the restoration of my large MVS cab instead of building a tiny one.

Since he did snes you should do nes first. I would like to see a sega cd one painted with the sonic cd box cover. If your good you should sell them on ebay with games or game included.

Looks pretty small? I would love to try one out though!
