toughgamer Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi guys greetings, I have been searching everywhere to find a place where I can get an inexpensive but good arcade cabinet kit, as that's pretty much my childhood dream since the first time I did a hadouken in street fighter II when I was 11 ;) But I am a total newbie in this one - I've built numerous PCs and other things, but never tried anything close to this, I've been looking at this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTIMATE-ARCADE-CABINET-BUILDING-KIT-NEW-/370326292587?pt=UK_Video_Games_Coin_Operated_MJ&hash=item56392ac86b#ht_2243wt_1139 and this: http://www.arcadeworx.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=24&product_id=63 I've also got a 22inch wide screen monitor collecting dust, and a few computer parts (motherboards, RAM, CPU, video card, etc). I wonder if that's good enough for me to get a bartop done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_fjs Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Welcome mate! I can vouch for the ArcadeWorx kits, great quality and service. Re the internals, check the sponsors section of this site for some good online stores. Space is limited in a bartop, so you could easily and inexpensively throw a 60-in-1 in there or otherwise you will need to build a Mame PC out of a micro MB.

toughgamer Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks a lot guys! yeah and I am thinking about building a microATX with guts only inside the bartop. I never realized there's actually a community with ppl like us though - this is awesome! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
