Still working on sorting out the artwork for the CP, marquee and side art.

It’s a ericleroi inspired 24" slim.

Future plan is to get another one for side to side/head to head action :slight_smile:

Any time you want me to babysit just give me a holla, haha.

dope cab caesar

LOL sure thing Carlos hahaha.

Nice cab Caesar! 4 speakers tho? That thing is gonna be bumping! What are you using to power the speakers?

Nah the speaker holes are just for aesthetics :slight_smile:

I’ve only put in small logitech 2.1 Z313 speakers http://www.logitech.com/en-us/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/5872 and it does the job pretty good.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have bass control on the sub, but it does the job great.

I got LED’s on the marquee section and the moves overlay too. I cant take the credit of building it though, I can take a fair bit of credit with helping design it, I spent over 3 months with the guy going back and forth to get it exactly as it is above :slight_smile:

www.arcadeworx.com.au is where i got it from and I must say, he’s the Kray of Australia :slight_smile:

Yeah I remember looking at the website. They look very nice.

Does anyone have a non-Megaupload link for the Kraylix PSD templates?

I remember your ISP does not like Megaupload.

@ the last few Cab submissions, looking good

@ mistahsnart and Kyle
I know few women who didn’t let there Boyfriends/Fiance/Husbands get a upright cab but they allow Cocktail cabs
Its all about finding a cab design that will fit with the home decor/ their sensibilities.

I must be one of the lucky guys that has a wife that not only indulges my videogame collecting habits, but actually plays them more often than I do. :smiley:

She WANTS to have a basement full of cabinets. The problem is that right now, we don’t have a basement (small townhouse).

lucky u my girlfriend of over ten years hates me even talking about getting 1 i just started wanting a cab for a few months now

Yeah my asian wife thought my Daytona USA 2 cabs were way too big for the house, but she knew it was one of my dreams to have them…Little did she know that 8 arcade cabs later will follow hehe So now i have about 11 cabs spread out with in two houses, our plan is our dream house is either to have a huge basement for gameroom/movie theater room or maybe even just have a separate dedicated mancave near the house for my cabs…Funny thing though is that she doesn’t seem to mind about arcades cabinets but gave me shit when i was buying figurines & statues…

See if she bite for a smaller profile cab, like Vewlix style (Ikea Look) or even a Cocktail cab (Resembles an end table or a nightstand)

Don’t give her an option be like Nike Just Do It! I told my girl I was buying the cab she wasn’t nuts about it but I didn’t really give her a choice.

when i find one i wont :slight_smile:

finished my other american vewlix. wired the controls and using a jtag xbox360. I dont like the magnetic stripe thingy around the marquee area. eventually I will install a piece of plexi glass or metal or something.

Here is my story with my beloved shanghainese wife:

Bought a hollowed out naomi universal cabinet and she saw it in its disassembled state and ordered me to dump it to the recyclers, I protested and said I can restore it to its former beauty and it will take up no space at all. I fixed it up alright and she was impressed with the result and ok with the fact that now I have a cab, my first cab that is…

Then I won an auction for a sitdown candy cab (as pictured in my avatar) she only found that out as she went into my shed behind our shop…barking madness ensues, but I convince her that I got it for a good price (which is true if you counted the super sf pcb and sf ex2 that came with it) and that it was the right height for our 2 under 3’s. Plus it doesnt take up much room at all…

At this time, she assessed my gaming collection and decided to relocate my collection to a shed to be built outside our house. She was true to her words and a shed was built, with a view too, and the only condition was I must move everything myself without the assistance of movers. So after x times trips up and down 78 steps later, everything was transfered to the new location.

Recently, I bought 2 astrocity panels off another forum member and he gave me a 50% completed new astro city cab for free…I couldnt refuse it, so I brought it back home and fixed it up (pics to come soon…)She saw it last weekend and did not blink an eye and as far as I know, all she said was “have you reached the capacity of the shed yet?” of which I solemnly said “I think so”

I dont think I can offer any lessons from my dealing with my own asian wife, but thats how my deal went down.

u need better pics:)

ha nice now u got your own man cave :)where u live finding these great cab deals ?
