Ultimate Arcade Cabinet – The Easy Budget Build

Ultimate Arcade Cabinet – The Easy Budget Build

Here is Part one of my New Series: HOW TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE ARCADE MACHINE! In this part we are focussing on a easy to make high quality Bartop. This means it can go in anyone’s home and is very simple for us to start off on.

We will be updating this in the future adding more extras and upgrading. But for now, this is the minimum of what you want to be looking at.

HERE IS THE KIT I AM USING IN THIS PART: CONTACT RICH FOR 10% OFF BY SAYING MY NAME!

Parts lists for everything I used down the bottom!

Complete cabinet builds from start to finish with all links, tips, guides and where to get them from, including links and downloads!

Complete programing and software guides. Tech and wiring, control setups, where to buy and who to avoid. Making this the go to source of information on all the parts you need and where to get them.

If anyone has any bad experiences from sellers or from parts, let me know. Lets not just show who and where to buy, but who and what to avoid. There are lots of great laces out there, but as always, people trying to make quick bucks selling tat!

These arcade builds will be split into logical builds, parts, features and systems. If you would like something featured, please PM me and lets see if it will suit the builders. If anyone has any requests for this type of series or are struggling on something, let me know in the comments.

Do you have a video where you add the pc, connections, putting together the controllers, etc

xhiltonx says:

300 quid, how the cab is 130 quid of the site, thats with no plexi or viynl

Scott Foster says:

Absolutely fantastic, thanks for this video. At the end of the video you talk about doing more arcade builds, add-ons..light guns, steering wheels etc, but I can’t see those videos. If you could do a build-your-own dedicated racer arcade, with steering wheel, pedals (vibration for the seat if possible?!), then that quite literally would be the most awesome video ever imo, and something I would definitely save my hard earned cash for having a go at, especially now that Sega rally (3, even!) and other racers are available on emulators. Anyway, also just wanted to say this is the first time I discovered your channel. I found out about hyperspin recently, and have been watching a lot of vids on emulators and retro gaming, so I found your channel and I’m loving your content and enthusiasm…I’m now a subscriber, thanks a lot for your work, man! Build that racing machine pleeeease! 😉

DIY Ejuice Man says:

i personally think 400usd is way too much for it all it is is about 100 to 150 usd in wood thats all and less then 20 in screws nuts etc

MeatPopsycle says:

That cabinet by Dave Hyatt is awesome.

André Duus says:

Danny Waugh says:

Where did you get and how many modesty blocks did you use? and what screws to use with them?

InspiralJez says:

rs2klee says:

André Duus says:

Would you care to share the artwork??? Ordered the same cab at Rich!

simondolantis says:

What type and length of screws are recommended for building the cabinet?

Coeur Bleu says:

Really !?? ridiculous.. glue ? speaker ? where is the lighting? completly crazy !!!! not even dreaming I buy that

Billy B says:

Austin, dude you have THE best videos. It's not even close. Very thorough, clear and always seems you're having a heck of a time which is always cool too. Your videos are extremely helpful. Well done!

Dermot Byrne says:
