    Single best cab build video for regular guy diy I've seen to date. No expensive elaborate tools or cutting techniques. Just hand tools and a few specialty drill bits, low cost and easy to obtain, use and store.
  • @Fernandeskonsam
    Feeling nostalgic!! Seeing this took me back to the days when arcade was at the peak of gaming !! Love it ❤❤❤ . Every 90s guys love to have one of those back then .
  • @adamzikryclt
    I watch a lot of DIY arcade and this is one of the best simple ones. I also like it black where it contrasts with the game you're playing. Good job!
  • @ShawnSoth
    My wrist hurts watching you build this awesomeness counter acade. You did an amazing job.
  • @retroconsole_
    The good thing about doing it yourself is that you get the gratification of your accomplishment, plus you can sell it and make extra cash. The possibilities are endless since the retro gaming scene is growing fast.
  • @MahbubMishima
    The quality of your works is a reflection of determination😊
  • @hotcoffeebreath
    It's a beautiful thing! Well done and thanks for sharing 👍
  • @geraldford6409
    As others mentioned, I agree that a tracball in the center, lower center or side should be a standard feature, to handle trac and dial/paddle games, plus use as mouse for computer ui. You got it right re top row of white buttons, add a few more to handle l, r mouse buttons and windows keys, f keys and most used menu, ui keys for retropie, emuelec, emustation, mame, etc. With labels for functions under botton tops, ie Sekect, Back, Setup, etc. If you do vpin games, side mounted buttons for flippers.

    This is one of those people who did bartop arcades with a few easy-to-get tools they got at Home Depot and Amazon, without the needs of expensive tools.
  • @RisteSekuloski
    What an amazing project! Bit of a overkill with the processing power, but if you had mainboard and video card sitting around, it is a waste not to use them. Some very elegant solutions in your build (retractable keyboard is a very nice touch). Loved it!
  • @zdnss
    Nostalgic and inspiring hand work you did great keep up
  • @imm311
    Excellent work! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
  • @diegodevilchapa
    Excellent! Just a recommendation: both lower coolers should take in air and the upper coolers should take out air. By convection, hot air remains at the top. In this way you improve the temperature of the hardware. Greetings!
  • @Inkgnition
    Outstanding, watched it with great pleasure. Now contemplating building one myself :) Thank you very much for the inspiration!
  • @alexrobles7744
    very impressive and great way to show us how it was built with simple tools. I need to find cablinet latches like yours, they are awesome!
  • Fantástico mano, simplesmente fantástico. Mais um vídeo que aumenta a minha vontade de construir o meu próprio BARTOP!. Parabéns!
