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