I like it. Gotta build one of those.
I already did build an arcade machine, but I didn’t build in the monitor
I was originally going to use a Raspberry Pi, but instead I decided to build in a full PC. The full PC allows a little more power, and a lot more storage. (That’s a 2TB hard disk mounted in there.) it’s easy to throw into the car, and I have a couple more external joysticks for it, so it can handle full 4 player Gauntlet.
The cabinet predates my CNC, so the opening for the power supply is a little crude, since I did it with a jigsaw. The PC IO panel was done on the table saw for the long edges, and finished with the jigsaw.
Interior mount pieces were 3D printed, and the top panel was laser cut for me by old clients/friends that I have who run a sign shop. Thanks to me showing them how the guts of it work, they build stand-up arcade machines in the shop, and have sold several to their clients.
I’ve been meaning to get plans for a stand-up machine, and build it. Looks like I have a winner… Or not. I think that I’ll design my own after all. I’ve had the coin mechanism in my Amazon wish list for a very long time,
Top played games on my rig are Joust, Elevator Action, and Gauntlet. It’s primary use was for social events for my kendo club.
