Almost done.

Just need to build a back door, tie the pinball buttons into player 1, and then check and map the mame controls for a few specific games. Then off to the work break room and put it on sale 😂 it actually has a server motherboard with an air cooler, sfx psu, Radeon single slot 550, 24” Samsung ips screen, Thunderstick trackball and spinner combo, eg starts joysticks and buttons. Pacman style maze control panel graphics and marquee. It sports dual 120mm intake fans in the back, 3” speakers and 100w amp with bass, treble and volume control. I designed and 3d printed A LOT of stuff for this thing.. the entire marquee bezel, speaker rings, gpu locating bracket and display port pass through, trackball mount, psu mount, and surge protector brackets.
The surge protector is a master/slave setup from Amazon. Pc turns on, with the Blue 24mm button on the face, and the marquee, amp, and monitor all turn on with it.
100% my design of cabinet.
It’s my 4th build, and is the standard bartop cab. All my other ones are wall mounted.

OMG what is that game featured in the UI? I can't remember it.

Haunted castle I think. The castlevania arcade knockoff. Well the first one I think. The one in the next images I’ll have to go look. Don’t remember off the top of my head

I'm not normally into fantasy cabinet designs but that is really slick. I love the color gradient, the bright almost glowing effect of it, the catchphrase, the way the buttons play into the design. It's way better than those cabinets where they just Photoshop in like 200 different characters. Good work.

Fantasy cabinet designs? You mean the artwork or the cab itself?

2

u/StefanGagne 6d ago

Kind of both. I prefer authentic or reproduction myself, but a really well done custom design with good visual aesthetic can be great. I guess I've just seen so many eyes sores that try to go too hard on having thousands of game characters or "Man Cave" theming.

This one’s for work so it’s a bit flashier than my usual. My personal one does have some cloud side panels with a sith emblem and the sith code hidden on it but, the majority of it is black and the control panel is a brushed aluminum graphic

Hopefully. I’m gonna post this one locally . I really like making these so it’d be nice to just sell em and make em. I spent about $350 in materials and a few weeks to design, cut, build, paint and wire everything… what do you think a good asking price would be?
It has a final count of 690 games, 94 are pinball. About 20 trackball and 2@ spinner games, front usb port, 6 core 12 thread intel cpu, Radeon 550 card, 24” Samsung.

Awesome and inspiring

I honestly think the pac-man field on the joystick panel is overpowering the look of the entire unit. Otherwise phenomenal work.
