Creating the BEAST Part 1: Design and Components of the World's MOST Expensive 50" Arcade Machine

Welcome to the ultimate arcade cabinet build project! In this video, I kick off my most ambitious creation yet: a 50-inch mega arcade cabinet featuring a real Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and a high-performance gaming PC with a massive 16TB game drive.
It plays ANY Arcade game, ANY modern console game and ANY modern PC title + it can use the huge 16TB drive to run Launchbox Bogbox, Hyperspin, Coinops... everything is included....
There is more...
the full cabinet can be electronically RISED / LOWERED to make it a SITTING AND STANDING cabinet!
This is Part 1 of our journey into building the ultimate gaming setup!
What You'll See in Part 1:
Design Process: Dive into the design with me as I use Autodesk Fusion 360 to create the blueprint for this colossal arcade machine.
Shopping for Components: Join me as I source and purchase essential gear to bring this project to life.
Workshop Tour: Explore the workshop and get an in-depth look at the components that make this arcade cabinet unique.
Why This Build is Special:
It is the first Arcade cabinet that has a 7(!) screen setup, has ALL the modern original consoles physically included AND is electronically height adjustable!
Massive Storage: Never worry about running out of space with a huge 16TB game drive.
Stay Tuned for More!

That design is legit a tv on an entertainment stand

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Yes, that's it! thanks for your sharp analysis ;-)

[@AllAboutTech159]

The idea to integrate a sit stand frame to an arcade is wicked. Really looking forward to seeing this one progress 👏

[@alexrobles7744]

Wow Daniel, you are truly the master. I can speak firsthand on the nightmare of putting all those things into one machine, The USB, the signals, it get crazy, so I really looking forward to part 2. As always thanks for showing us what is going into he build.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Thanks Alex 🙌🏻

[@ejtaylor73]

I can't wait to see the final product, this sounds amazing. I love these build series, just hate having to wait for the next episode 🤣Seeing that many parts sitting there, I would get so over whelmed and not know where to begin. Thank you Sir for sharing with us and look forward to going on this journey with you.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Love your crazy builds buddy.. thanks for sharing ! Edit ... hey you have a new car 😮

[@pathoftheuknown9709]

Its very interesting of all the products your using to make this massive arcade cabinet , I love arcade machines it’s like the best nostalgia of my childhood 😎

[@philh3041]

Stumbled across your channel watching old arcade resto videos! Absolutely amazing the work you do. Plus thanks for the heads up on Fusion 360! Will check that out. 👍🏻

[@flamtaps316]

WOW!!!! I just…. WOW!!!! It’s gonna be sick! Congrats! You outdid yourself again!!!

[@SlickNickBA]

The back of that cab design looks familiar 1:33 :) Looking forward to watching the next two videos.

[@AxisArcade]

Absolutely insane build! Love your channel.

[@TheDarkPreacher]

I think there should be a vertical piece of wood at the back (behind the fans) that raises with the top which would act as a backdrop when the arcade is raised and can also hide any cables going up the the main cabinet? Or can those be routed through the legs? This build looks amazing. love the raised desk idea.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Smart idea, let me see if this is possible 👍🏼

[@ChristianCastle]

You always have the coolest ideas.

[@JJ2c]

AMAZING!!! Just like every one of your videos AMAZING!!!

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

THANKS!! 😉

[@azhighwayz2310]

Nice! I've been drawing up plans and collecting parts for an adjustable height pedestal build that can go from sitting to stand up with a larger sized monitor on an adjustable desk mount. A minimalist type arcade machine that doesn't take up too much room. Plus with the monitor desk mount you can twist the monitor 90 degrees for those vertical screen games and pinball. Can't wait to see how a pro implements the adjustable height.

[@fulmetalraven1]

Ur videos r always very insightful. Great videos. I love learning from ur videos!!! Havent build any myself yet, but hopefully soon!

[@Piglet6256]

holy sh#t, this arcade cabinet is totally out of control haha. I am getting excited here, can't wait to see the whole series! So far it's looking amazing! groetjes

[@the1ucidone]

I can't wait to learn more! Teach me master.

[@KiwiKoNZ]

Let’s go dude!! ✋🥳🤚

[@wickeddutchgamer]

Lekker bezig ! Ik ben enorm benieuwd hoe de final result will be ! 😄

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

You will visit the workshop when it is done I think ? 🍕 🍺 😜

[@couzin2000]

This is the best video so far - a listing of all the parts you need. Excellent! You ROCK Daniël!

[@BlackBartGames]

Amazing Daniel and your storytelling/videos are another level now ! Very nice and edited ! Congratulations from Japan !

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Thanks!! 🙏🏼

[@hermannpreinfalk9300]

Daniel, I'm so glad you share your knowledge, experiences, parts etc. because I can't afford your arcade machines but I may build one myself in the future. Thumbs up!

[@chriscmb]

You are like an arcade Cabinet Artist. I love your videos and I love your deigns and ideas. I am in the middle of breaking down my arcade to turn it into an enternainment center so it can go with me no matter the size of the house or apt. I'm in. The idea of making it sit down will be awesome escpecially for kids and adults to able to play at the same hight. I cant wait to see the next video to see how you put everything together. and I would love to get those gun4ir but for almost $500 a gun, I'm going to have to ask that for chritsmat lol.

[@experiment18a40]

this will be interesting with all the consoles. i wonder how thats going to work. looking forward to the build Daniel. your machines always look so great

[@HomeArcadeInABox]

Amazing!! Next level as always!

[@andyhello23]

Amazing work, love seeing the new designs, you specially do with your clients Your customers should be very happy, the service you provide them is top quality, and you deserve what they get to pay you. Cheers again for sharing these builds, will look forward to the rest The work you put into these designs and machines is top notch, and your clients must be very happy.

[@toniizzo8307]

Wow das wird alles übertreffen. Richtige Inspiration für alle Arcade Liebhaber

[@zS39SBT4fe5Zp8Q]

Nice! Looking forward to the rest of this build!!

[@tekkamanblade2244]

It would be cool if Ultimarc offered bat tops made from the same material as the RGB ball-tops so we can swap and still enjoy RGB joysticks

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Yes, that would be great indeed!

[@MrWhitekg]

Wow... super intéressant !!! Merci

[@jmjmusser]

This thing is massive, out of curiosity, how much are you charging for this? BTW, thank you for your fusion 360 tutorial. It got me started on learning 360 and I have since built on that. It was very helpful. I really appreciate it!

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Thanks, as for pricing - about a middle class car :-)

[@donjaun540]

Amazing 🥰 I may not get an answer, but how much would a dream like this cost❓

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Well, you can go as cheap or as crazy expensive as you would like. This one is leaning to that crazy side 😅

[@jmjmusser]

on your glass panels do you use dark smoke, or light gray smoke?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

There is only one choice from my glass supplier. Smoke Grey...you should test what would work best for you

[@probowlergaming3405]

I don’t think I caught it but what type of monitor was he using and is there a specific one for arcade builds?

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

It was a Asus Predator Rog Strix monitor 144hrtz 43 inch

[@TheRealJPhillips]

Damn! 🔥 U da mann

[@international806yachting]

50“ monitor?? Isn‘t this like going to the movies and sitting in the first row?

[@ChristianCastle]

Yeah, I'd prefer a dual-screen arcade with two 20" monitors, one next to the other forming an L. 2 players for each monitor.

[@pikaninjatcg8175]

Question: I want to build a 6-Player arcade cabinet. Is this a bad idea? I want to be able to play games like super smash bros and minecraft dungeons arcade with multiple players at the same time. Is this feasible, or I should just stick with a 4-Player cabinet? Thanks

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Sounds like a g r e a t idea! I see no reason not to (try) this :-)

[@KiwiKoNZ]

Hey Dan! Would you build one and send it to New Zealand? (Just for future reference 😏)

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Sure! I have no customers in New Zealand yet 😃

[@KiwiKoNZ]

@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Sweet! SUBBED 😎👍✨

[@JJiG]

please have detailed videos of the wiring. i know it'll be a nightmare, but it'll help so many going forward.

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Will try 😅

[@JJiG]

@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades wow it's been a month and no part 2. hope all is well!

[@simaosantos8539]

So, Cristiano Ronaldo has ordered an arcade machine, right? No one else on Madeira island would buy such a refined gaming behemoth...

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Can't confirm :-)

[@saulramirez4639]

Hi, where did you get the convex goldleaf button?, I can't find it on the ultimarc website

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Not yet on their website. You can send Andy an email maybe

[@atariforever2002]

While I can appreciate the effort you have put into this thing, to me it's just a colossal waste of time and money. 1. most classic "arcade" games weren't designed for a 50 inch LCD monitor, they will look like garbage on that screen. 2. Who wants to set on a stool (or stand perhaps) 18 inches from that large of a screen playing modern console games for hours on end? Console games are designed to be played from a couch or a recliner on a TV down low several meters away. The ergonomics of that thing is just stupid. 3. Putting 50,000 games or whatever on it is also ridiculous. You're going to spend more time searching for what you want to play then actually playing anything. But hey, makes for a good KZbin I guess. 🤷‍♂️🙄

[@lightgungamerru1963]

1)Mame games will look fine if you set normal bezels and turn on reshade. It will turn out to be just 26-28 inches. Modern Arcade Games(teknoparrot) they just require a large screen. 2) Console games in an arcade machine are just a bonus, you can take a gamepad and play at any distance, but no one will stop you. 3) It's actually very convenient to have everything in one, even if you won't run it all)

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Did you like the video? Then the mission succeeded 🙌🏻
