First Cabinet Design

I really like the Golden Tee 2000 arcade cabinets, with the swooping white top section contrasting with the main black base. I’m trying to mimic elements of this style in my own cabinet design. Let me present my first Rough Draft Cabinet Design.

Ok, so don’t laugh that I used graph paper instead of CAD. The monitor is 25-inch instead of 27, so the cabinet is not as deep and I was able to achieve a steeper (45 degree) angle on the monitor. What I like most about this cabinet, is that it can be broken down into control panel, main section, top section, and monitor for easy transportation.

    Notice your post was from January 2004. Did you build the cabinet depicted in your rough draft? If so, do you have any pics, or information you could share with me. I’m thinking about building a cabinet similiar to your rough draft.

    Thanks.

    I have quite a bit of it assembled, although I admit it’s not finished yet. I will post here soon some pictures and the plans I used. I’ve been too focused on other things lately, so this will bring it forward in my mind, and hopefully I can complete it! :)
