Who wants to help us design a bartop arcade cabinet? :)

And we have the controls! 0-8.png I already suggested possibly jamming in some more characters to the control panel as well as having a different color for the buttons on each side (for each player). I'm thinking either green and blue or maybe orange and blue for LaunchBox vs. Big Box. :)

Also, I made this in an attempt to visualize the whole cabinet: Cabinet.jpg Really the only piece left to build is the bottom part underneath the controls. Thoughts, everyone? :) I can't thank @Rincewind enough for this; I couldn't have found a better person for the job if I was throwing money at people.

I'll try moving his arm around and also flipping him only problem with putting him on the right is theres not alot if room as the buttons sit lower..... it's the big 40 for me today and sure whats happening so I'll get the changes done and finish the bottom panel as soon as I can but it might not be until late

I talked with Neal (Rincewind) via email a bit; I'm thinking it would be good to have the branding on both sides as well since part of the point of it is visibility at game conventions. I don't want to screw up the look of the unit though so I'd rather drop that idea if it doesn't look good or doesn't fit in. Here's my horrible Photoshop version of what I'm thinking: Untitled-2.jpg Thoughts guys? The other thing I asked Rincewind to try is to blue-tint the backgrounds to see if that brightens it up a bit or makes it a bit more cheery. That's about the end of my feedback; I can't believe how awesome it looks already. I'd be very happy with it as-is, so I think we'll be sending it off to Monster Arcades very soon. :)

Renard said Never use a grid layout for the panel! http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html (I'd advise using the Vewlix Arcade one, minus the last button)
That makes a lot of sense; sadly though I think I'd have to switch to a different build in order to make that happen. Unfortunately Monster Arcades uses the grid layout so I think that's what we're stuck with. That is what I'm used to though with my current upright, so I guess it is what it is.
