Desktop Arcade Cabinet

Posted by: Gary Stanton

If you don't have the space for a full sized arcade cabinet, this could be the answer.

It's a familiar story. You desperately want an arcade cabinet running Mame with the best custom joystick parts... But either you've got no space, or more often a wife/girlfriend who strongly disagrees that the spare room should be used as a games room. (Honestly... I run a company selling video game t-shirts, you knew what you were signing up for!)

Well this desktop sized cabinet could be the answer. Combining top quality parts, with a small build, this is a truly beautiful piece of kit - and importantly, can be easily hidden in a cupboard.

We were lucky enough to get chatting to the creator of this awesome cab in a pub recently, so we're hoping to eventually get them for sale on the site, but you can get your hands on the prototype right now over on eBay. And for a mere £350, you're not going to find a better deal, anywhere, ever.
