Classic cabinet + JAMMA-tized + Honey I Shunk the Arcade
Idea for bartop JAMMA rig-
I have an idea for a winter woodworking project. I know there are plans and cabinets being sold for a bartop cabinet, but my idea is a bit different.
I am thinking about building a small cabinet, mainly as a test rig/JAMMA cabinet. It would use a 13" monitor and while I've planned on horizontal mount, I suppose I could put the monitor on a mount that would unbolt and rotate. It would be roughly from the mid coin door and up, with a pull out drawer in the base, where the boardset could be swapped.
Instead of a new design, I'd like to take a classic cabinet and scale it down 68%, since it's a 19" to 13". Only change might be a larger control panel.
What would be a good cabinet design to shrink 68% and chop off at the waist? Defender comes to mind. The flat control panel would do well with a JAMMA layout. A baby Nintendo cabinet might do well, especially since you could stack crap on the flat top.
Any suggestions?
