This is my arcade cabinet, I made it from 12mm mdf wood.
It's not finished yet, I have to wait for the buttons and joystick to finish it.

Here are some pictures:







Hope you like it! I post some more pictures soon.

Hey, also dutch here. Isn't it hard to buy a used cabinet here? Because all the arcades were gone in the 90s right? I finally found out why

http://www.johnsarcade.com/forum/index.php?topic=1459.0

I am looking into just getting a galaga pcb and then figuring out how to build a cabinet around it. I will probably try and make the shape as authentic, but then go with cheaper prints of the side art, since it won't ever be a real cabinet the time and money spent will not be worth it imho.

Looking into switching info on our efforts.

Yes it's very hard to buy a used cabinet here, thats why I am making my own one.
It's not so hard to make one, but it takes time. Nice topic! (why arcades were gone)

I am making my own arcade cabinet (Small version, bigger than a bartop, smaller than full size)
