Ebony and Ivory Rebuild
The hardware in Ebony and Ivory was great, the case wasn't what I wanted. The new case is sleaker, cleaner, and includes a third computer. |

|
Ebony and Ivory
A cube, two feet on each edge, with both a kicking PC and a kicking Mac in one. |

Penny Arcade 2
After trying to cut the costs in the Penny Arcade by using a Namco Arcade Games controller, someone asked me how cheaply I could make an arcade cabinet that used the full MAME software. I was surprised at how low I got. |
|
|
Lite-Brite PC
Another PC mod in a case. When I saw that the old Lite-Brite toy was available as a cube, I knew what I had to do. |
|
|
Wurlitzer PC
This is another PC mod in a case, as opposed to an arcade. I got a Wurlitzer Mini-Bubbler, an 18" high replica of a jukebox. Just had a radio and CD player. First thought, I could put an MP3 player in There. Second thought... |

Penny Arcade
Finally, an arcade cabinet that's not afraid to be an arcade cabinet. Instead of a computer running MAME, the cabinet is powered by a Namco TV Games 5-in-1 adapter, making it a lot cheaper. |

Killer Pizza
After being less than happy with Cubius Maximus, I decided to squish it down. |
|
|
Cubius Maximus
This transportable cube has everything you need to awe the competition at the local LAN party. It proved to be a disappointment, too heavy, not cool enough |
 |
The Portable Arcade MarkIII
This final version of the portable arcade has a sturdy wood frame, covered with a pseudo-leather fabric, making it both strong and reducing the weight. |
 |
The Portable Arcade Mark II
This second attempt is better, but wasn't quite there. |
|
|
The Portable Arcade Mark I. This is the first attempt at a portable arcade cabinet. Too heavy, too clunky. Needed redesign, |
|
|
The Coffee Table Arcade. This arcade cabinet hides in a coffee table. When opened, control boxes lift up and the games are played on the large screen TV. |
|
|
The Living Room Arcade Mark II. Similar goals to above, but fits in a normal looking cabinet. The controls slide out on a drawer mechanism. The plans are now available for sale at Game Cabinets, Inc. |
 |
The Living Room Arcade. An arcade that is designed to fit in the living room, instead of shouting "I'm an arcade cabinet". Unfortunately, I'm told it shouted "I'm a pregnant armoire" |
 |
The Desktop Arcade. This was an attempt to get to a simpler arcade, without the bells and whistles. This was a weekend project. The Plans are available from GameCabs.com |
 |
The Secret Arcade. I had the idea of an arcade cabinet that was in disguise. Plus, wouldn't it be great to have a cabinet that also played console games? |
 |
The Cocktail table. This was my first arcade cabinet, built from plans sold by Game Cabinets, Inc. I made changes as the project proceded. |
