Introduce Myself And Show My Cabinet 40/32/13

[aklaers]

So hello to everyone. I am new to the vpuniverse so i thought i would introduce myself. I got the idea of a pin cab from my uncle about three weeks ago and it has taken off from there. Below you will see the one picture I have of my cab as of last night. Finally got to fire up the brains of the operation and get all three monitors working. Tonight I hope to have all the goodies loaded and installed to try and play for the first time. Also the displays are 40/32/13.

Nice work ... I like the 13 inch DMD ... what did you use there

And Welcome to the great hobby

Its just an old 19 inch monitor i had laying around. I really wanted to have a large DMD to go with all the other screens. And thank you

[Les73gtx]

Yes I used the same from an old laptop ... love the ability to colorize the dmd

That's an interesting way to build a cabinet. It looks like you've taken cues from actual cabinetry? Is it lightweight? I wonder about breaking it...go easy on it...

Looking good!

Thank you everyone. As far as lightweight it is not. It is built out of 3/4 melamine screwed nailed and glued together. Has a piece of 7/16 shatterproof acrylic for the glass. . the design cues have all been taken from cabinets i have seen on here and from my own personal arcade that i have built to fit my style. I love the woodwork, hard and software parts almost as much as playing the games myself

What dimensions did your cabinet end up using the 40 inch playfield?

I just used the standard body cab plans i found on this site. used them exactly and just had a slight router on the sides for the screen and it fit like a glove
