The Arcade Build Begins (Finally!)

After months of designing, planning and gathering of parts, the actual arcade cabinet build finally begins!  Part one will cover the basic cabinet construction and be updated in the corresponding page after each day's work is completed.  This, along with all the other planning, designing and other background information can be found in the listed pages.

Here we go....

The Arcade Build - Part 1: Cabinet Construction
The Arcade Build - Part 2: Priming, Painting and Plexiglass
The Arcade Build - Part 3: Internal Wiring and Control Panel

One man's journey to building a retro-arcade

This is my personal journey, with help from a lot of other smarter folks, to building a home, retro-arcade machine.  It's also my first attempt at blogging.  

The actual build of the cabinet will commence in mid-March and I'll do my best to update this site on a routine basis.  Until then, the pages listed shows all the planning and testing up to this point.

I do not claim to be an expert at anything posted here (including writing), and there is a lot of additional information out there on the web.  But maybe someone contemplating tackling a project like this will find a tidbit or two of helpful information.
