Want to build a countertop or mini cabinet for a Arcade Calssics 60 in 1 board

[BR549 Auto Sales]

Has another member built a cabinet for this application? If so, do you have a set of plans or dimensions in order to build a cabinet?  I will be using a lcd monitor to save on space and weight.I would like to build either a countertop model or a caberet style arcade cabinet so that it will fit in with my slot machines better.


Thanks,

David

I have not built it yet but I plan to do the 5th one down.  http://bartoparcade.katorlegaz.com/  I am just gutting an old PC and building it out with a 20 in LCD.

I havent built one either but the parts needed to do a 39 in 1 (which I have) or a 60 in 1 would definietly fit in a very small case with an LCD.  My full size galaga case is nearly empty inside--lol.  As far as the kit difference, the 60 in 1 only gives you a few more good games really over the 39 in 1, there are already 4 Pacmans on the 39 in 1, but the 60 in 1 has Pac man plus and 4 other "fast mode" versions of the the original Pacman series; congo bongo, pleiades, dig dug 2, 1943, and a few other minor games.  My 39 in 1 board has a VGA out so it would run that LCD.  The only issue I see is that those cabinets appear to have the screens oriented in a horizontal position.  Pretty much all the games in the 39 and 60 in 1 are vertical games (as were almost all the popular early video games).  The horizontal screens were more used for fighting games, and mario bros type games.  So all I am saying is there are some decisions and tradeoffs to the way you build it.  Just know the difference!  Any pics you would like of my board, power supply, switches, etc, just send me a PM.  Good luck!
