Hey guys,

First post here in the HyperSPIN section. I spend most of my time over in the HP area of the forum, but i thought you guys may like to see what i came up with when building my Arcade machine.

I thought the idea surrounding the Global VR Arcade Classics was great, and when i actually played one, i really thought the shape and feel suited that of an arcade machine that needed to play multiple games/genres.

I based my cabinet off this shape, and made a few changes.

If anyone has any questions regarding the build, feel free to ask - ill try and answer them all.

Anyways, thanks to 3B and everyone who contributes their time and effort in making the 'Hyper' frontends what they are. Its a great place here, and im really glad to be part of it.

Enjoy the snaps...

Hey kakaodvm,

I used 18mm MDF, the vinyl i sourced from a signwriters wholesaler - you can buy it really wide and in huge lengths if need be!

Thank you timbo.
I supose it is matt black vinil or have some texture?
The finish that it gets is realy professional. I was thinking in lamimate but it is really expensive, hard to work with and I think it is not necesary for an indoors cabinet.
