My 1St Cabinet Build

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Have been lurking for a few months and learning much. Thought it time I say g'day and show my first cabinet build....

 

40 inch SAMSUNG table, 28 inch backglass.  Currently running 70+ tables (including 1/2 dozen arcade games) via PinballX.

 

The cab itself is 18mm White Satin MDF (I used 18mm to allow for recesses to take the non de-cased screens), the glass is museum grade Starfire toughened with polished edges (thankfully I use that in my work and could get it cheap), the legs are Bally and the computer is my son's left-over quad core something or other with a GTX560 GPU and Samsung SSD.

 

Tables are a mix of 9.x and Physmod5. While the arcades are running under MAMEuiFX.

 

My second cabinet build is nearing completion (seen below after coming out of the paint booth today) and it's identical to this one (was built in tandem), with the exception of having more computing power (i7/650GPU) . This machine will go to it's new home at my sister in-law's house, to start it's fit-out over the weekend.

 

I look forward to learning more from this community and wish to thank those who put the effort into making VP possible.

 

Cheers

 

Rusty
