SORHP Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Thank you sir, I love SHMUPS! My Arcade Machines...
BadBoyBill Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Wow, the final product came out sweet! Great job overall.
hogcia Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Man this is so awesome. I really love the look of the arcade, wish I was crafty like that!
SORHP Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Got the art (finally) from the print shop for the marquee, still have to mount speakers, and I may paint the speaker grills dk gray to offset the bright colors, and still need to add a little flair on the red and blue lines with penstriping to overlay it My Arcade Machines...

iammud Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Nice build...but I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda cringing at the use of a vertical widescreen. If I were you, I'd cut a new marquee in 3:4 aspect ratio, and just hide all the portion of the screen you don't use.
SORHP Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks Iammud..... Hmmmmmmm, the themes wouldn't show full widescreen if I did that, but, I don't mind the black bars on some of the games, and some of the SHMUPS I play are actually pretty in 16:9 widescreen tate, and the marquee is a custom photoshopped xevious modified marquee; it took a week to get right and 45bux to get printed on post cut fiber-board, I also play my 360 in this machine, and I wouldn't be able to see the menus if I cut it to 3:4, heck, that's why I built 2 arcades at the same time, one vert, one horizontal, both perfect at what they do .... Thanks for having a look! Here is a really bad quality vid I did with my phone until I get a better one made with my hd cam... (I think I will change the background of the themes to a carbon fiber) l_Bv7vnwKn0&vq My Arcade Machines...
Insertcoin Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Your cab is amazing! I love shooters! Very nice work!
3lfk1ng Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Nicely done. I love the overlays. Project : Mancade - tumblr
jeepguy81 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 There should be a carbon fiber background in the folders somewhere, if you cant find it lemme know i'll find it. - Vertical-Cocktail Cab Theme Project

Ggallery Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Your builds are awe-inspiring. I cant help but wonder how long each one took...
SORHP Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Thank all of you! It took about 8 weeks to do both, I did all of the work at my auto glass shop in Midland, TX. Thanks Jeepguy81 for all the amazing work, my family loves the old school vert game themes My wife and I have a son now, and we have decided to upgrade our residence, so I got this machine in the garage ready to move, on an ez roller stand, and shot some more pics...

Endymian Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 This... this is beautiful. Where can I learn to work wood like that?
rocketappliances Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Sweet cabinet really like the design and paint job. Car stripes innovative as well. Good job.
ericleroi Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 This... this is beautiful.Where can I learn to work wood like that? It is something that can be learned quite quickly. I had next to no router skills before I started on my Vewlix. Just got to jump in and give it a go. Nice cab btw SORHP
Hyperion Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Great work on this, SORHP. I love the idea of a dedicated vertical shooter cab. My first cocktail cab: The Hyper Arcade Entertainment System Win 7 64bit | i5 3570K Overclocked to 4.2GHz | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | GTX 970 Strix | Samsung 250GB 840 Evo SSD + 8x4TB green drives in RAID 5 for XBMC/KODI
SORHP Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks guys!I had a ton of fun building this, and I continue to work on the vert graphics set ... if I did it again, I'd make it a little smaller and go with a smaller screen, the 26" is nice, but a little too much to look at, live and learn My Arcade Machines...
ericleroi Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Hi SORPH, I'm keen to know which shmups you're playing on this now and how they fit the screen.
SORHP Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 everything in mame, a few ttx (raiden 3, 4) I play them full screen, but when I really want to get down to business, I scale them down, they look great, I also have my xbox 360 attached and those are beautiful as well, but as I said earlier, smaller screen would have been a little better on the eyes My Arcade Machines...
