Nicole and I are big gamers and we both have fond memories of early PC and console games. While our two kids and business prevent us from diving into games like we used to, we'll always be gamers at heart. So when my buddy Brian Ibbot from Coverville asked me to help him with an arcade cabinet, I jumped on the opportunity.

Awesome work Marc. The subtle jazz versions of the gaming classics was a super nice touch. That cabinet turned out really nice! Between you and Bob from I Like To Make Stuff, you're really making me want to build one of these!

@TeddyMonacelli Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this video. I'm building my own arcade cabinet and, after watching a number of these arcade cabinet builds, you are really the only one to focus on the woodworking part of it (which is probably bc most people make these out of MDF, paint them black, and use T Mould on any edges, so the joins aren't really ever noticed/appreciated). Anyway, there are several steps that people rush through (particularly the monitor bezel/mounting part) that I'm really glad you covered at a nice pace.

Very nice project. I love the fact that you did this with great looking wood to start with instead of the classic MDF and painting route we all seem to take. Love the way it looks. Great job!

@themodelboatbuilder4689 6 жыл бұрын

I really think this is one of the better arcade machine builds on KZfaq. Mainly because you used the wood finish which is eighth up my ally. It’s fine with a custom pit job and stickers everywhere but this truly looks like it would sit in any home and not look out of place. Great job 👍🏻

Beautiful job and so good to watch. I made my arcade game out of MDF custom board, no where as nice as your finish. I thought of changing it one day to clear perspex so you can see the working insides, but might be difficult to do joins.

This is, by far, the nicest cabinet I have seen. The methods are as close to DYI as I have seen. The quality of materials is terrific. I want such a cabinet but I want it to double as a PC workstation. This would be for my son who I would want to be able to use this not just for certain gaming but also for his regular computer for homework and the like. To that end, a keyboard/mouse drawer might be the most awesome modification to add. That lowest front-facing panel might have a hinge somehow or perhaps it could be halved where the lower part has the hinge-door where the keyboard and mouse tray would emerge... or maybe no door at all... just a tray with rails.

awesome job man, and btw, badass tats! I helped a friend make a full size arcade machine around 2003 with a modded old style tv and a pc setup that was set to boot a mame emulator. I had plans drawn up many years back that was somewhat similar to this kind of build. I'v been following your work for a while now and am impressed by your skills and lessons. Keep up the good work man!

When it comes to jigsaw cuts I sometimes like to score my pencil line with a knife before the cut. It helps with the tearing.

That thing is gorgeous. I made a bar-top arcade a while back, and now I want to build a full-sized version, or build a base to make the bar-top look like a full-size while it is sitting on it. Also, I put one of those power/switched power ports on mine and it seems to be holding up well so far. The one I got is fused.

Nice job Marc. I really like the USB extensions on the front. I'm adding that to my future builds. Couple of things: The pie can get hot when under heavy loads (e.g. games), so I recommend adding some holes for ventilation and USB cooling fans to move the air. Also, buttons on the side of the cabinet are a really nice addition for pinball games. Unfortunately they need to be mapped for each game in RetroPie but I find they are a fan favorite.

I run that exact power plug on 3 of my arcade boxes. One of them has an entire desktop computer along with speakers and a 24 old LCD monitor and it has never been a problem. It has a fuse in it in case there is ever a surge so the risk is fairly minimal.

Most excellent video, it's to watch a true craftsman at work. The tips you interject as you build are very helpful. You may want to consider collecting them all and putting a slide at the end to help refresh folk's memory. I'm a nerd like your buddy Brian. The background jazz music makes this video easy to watch. The editing is great burious, how many cameras do you use? Keep broadcasting.
