Anyone see this metal countertop cabinet Excellentcom.net is selling?

Anyone bought one? It is hideous, but it might be made to look better with some artwork.

I'd wall mount that bitch. You could easily have the front skin powder-coated any color you wanted. Me want.
 
You just are caught up on how it looks now. It could look great.

It's definitely a "to each his own" thing. It reminds me of a VTECH kiddie computer. Hate the monitor, the cabinet, the control layout - everything. A color change would do nothing for me. But, I'm admittedly particular.

I also will never, ever understand the appeal of a wall-mounted arcade machine. If it's a matter of saving space, I'd rather have nothing.
 
I don't think art will be enough. It's to tall for how deep it is, and it's always going to look funny because of that. Wall mounting might help, but I'm not sure. Art alone will not be enough.
 
Don't care for it... Wall mounting would be cool, but not as easy as it should be due to fan and power input locations (you couldn't just flush mount it as-is). Coin mech is taking up space that'd be better used by a larger monitor.

I think most people here could build something nicer out of MDF or ply.

Just mount it on spacers. If I built one, it'd look just like that with much better art.
 
Agreed. That thing is hideous IMO. Now this design I could go for...but I could probably build this myself too for the price they want for them.

Owned one of these.

The build was fine...but the flat screen ruined it for me.
 
It's def. not pretty, but I would use it for a bartop. It'd fit nicely next to my pachislo.
