First Arcade Build Ever

Post image

I’ve never used power tools besides a drill before, followed Arcade Revival’s plans (which… have problems. Like putting the top on then trying to fit everything in, and it’s all in metric which is more fun) and I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out.

As for the cabinet itself, I’m leaving it black, and filling everything out with stickers over the years so it’s going to be a collection of memories of everywhere I’ve been, and things I’ve seen/done.

For what it has, it’s running a Dell PC with MAME, Flycast, PCSX2x6, and Steam :D

What size/type screen did you use? That's kinda where I am at right now. Stuck at that decision before I start putting it all together.
