This vid gets instant thumbs up, just for the cool double dragon music. Great cabinet too!!

[@bigpete405]

Thanks alot. I was originally going to keep this for myself, but my friend Derek wanted a cabinet so after I built it and realized I was about to have three arcades in my house I asked him if he wanted it. He had a hotrod cp for about a year already so instead of me buying joys, buttons, and a i-pac again I just swapped his hotrod over. This weekend im going to build myself one I really liked the mini mame and miss it already. check out my other videos.

[@bigpete405]

thanks bro. sorry I dont have plans or the dimensions for this cab I gave it to a friend years ago. Every arcade I built on my channel with the exception of the full size mk. I just drew up out of my heAD. Just imagine what you want and draw it out with pencil take into account the space you will need for your monitor, pc, power strip, speakers, marquee light, buttons etc.. Im going to make myself a bartop in the near future once I sell my mustang and have space in my garage.

A man that really sucks:( I was hoping to see it finished. I am sorry to hear that, some ppl just don't understand how much effort is put into make a cab like that. True a "minimal" amount of money needs to be invested, even so it does not need to cost a whole lot. A computer and a screen can be picked up for nearly next to nothing.. myself I recycle old pcs and screens:) Keep up the good work man, I'll apreciate all your efforts of making good mame cabinets:)

[@Pervypriest]

When is part 2 comming?? I can't wait to see the final result. Great job man:)

[@Pervypriest]

Dude, I have watched it and it was amazing:) I guess it's safe to say that you and howrong13 and your mame man have inspired me to build my own machine.. I'll post some clips of it soon.. Also the mini mame mk3 cp was pretty neat:) Good stuff

[@bigpete405]

depends on you. how much room do you have?, what size screen do you want? the bartop was musch easier then the full size, but it isnt really that small its 29.5 inches high and about 21 wide and 21 deep, it will be able to house a gateway 19 inch monitor. If you have questions just ask, and I will help you help.

[@bigpete405]

if your going to paint mdf is the way to go, but you must still prime and sand and paint and sand an least two coats each to be happy. If you want a natural look no paint then go with wood.

o man this music make me cry double dragon was my favorite game then 6-8 years old.

[@deathanator]

You may want to have a look at my finished cab... got it sprayed by professonal.. I am very happy with the finish

[@bigpete405]

thanks alot I appreciate the good words. Not sure if you watched my Mk3 mame build, but if not check it out. That cabinet came out looking like a dedicated one from midway.

[@bigpete405]

you can do that just make sure the 20" inner width for the small cab, and 23 3/4" for the large one is enoungh for the x arcade to sit in.

[@bigpete405]

awesome. let me know when you put up your videos.

[@Gousakos]

its from double dragon arcade....o man when i was 7-8 years old i was playing this game only to hear the music at the final boss :)

[@bigpete405]

[@OusaKhun]

mad props! freakin bad ass! Hook me up with your plans. :D

[@circle2land]

Nice job!

[@JoseGontijo82]

Is there anyway you could email me your measurements for this cab? Unless you already have a website with step by step. Great work.

[@SlimDan22]

Awesome Build! How Heavy Do You think it is with the MDF? im debating on whether to use plywood or MDF (Worried About Weight For Being Able To Move It Around)

[@bigpete405]

@circle2land thank you

[@bigpete405]

@dumbdude007 dont have any plans or the bartop. I just make this shit up in my head then draw it on mdf and gooooo!!!! try making it yourself it means more.

[@bigpete405]

@holysynner it's from the double dragon arcade game.

[@Pervypriest]

Dude I will let you know.. I plan to add a slideshow of the build in a couple of days:)

[@BackyardTrainCo]

[@AnnieOakley379]

That's awesome. =)

[@bigpete405]

yeah I know sometimes I have it on.. sometime I'm dumb and lazy

[@bigpete405]

thank you

[@wingnut4427]

How much did this project cost you? BTW. There is a vinyl you can buy to coat these bad boy's with that works great for this type of project. But I cannot remember where I saw it.

[@bigpete405]

do you have any of the supplies to build the arcade yet

[@dumbdude007]

would you mind giving me the plans for this?

[@BoingotheClown]

I have the uncontrollable urge to play Double Dragon for some reason.

[@partycentralpg]

@markit8dude1 It's from Double Dragon.

[@vedhus]

whats this music from? im guessing its double dragon but im not sure

[@musicbotpilots]

why didnt you use the hot rod as is?

[@bigpete405]

haha the songs are classic

[@bigpete405]

@Mysteriozone a friend has it

[@mirakles305]

true bros

[@Mysteriozone]

What ever happened to this one?

[@bigpete405]

good luck.. have fun and take your time. watch my videos for tips, and ask me questions. I check youtube a couple times day.

[@bigpete405]

I don't know myself... I gave it to a friend and he never finished it. Words of advice don't get into this hobby if your not looking to spend money. I gave him that arcade for free all he had to do was buy a computer and a 17inch lcd.
