To DIY build or not to DIY build
Ever since I saw Electric Starship's video on YouTube showing their custom 50" LED cabinet build years ago ( https://youtu.be/soamH-PgTW8?si=ECQHvVPH4Rcnqfyo ), I knew that I had to have one someday. I recently moved to a house with a massive garage so I finally have space to build and store an arcade cabinet. It just so happens that the sellers left behind a 58" Samsung LED and I have an old gaming PC with a GTX670 card that should be fine to run emulators. A couple of questions for the experts here before I tackle this:
-Can I inset a 58" LED deeply enough to make a playable all-in-one cabinet for 2 or 4 players? (I don't like pedestal or tabletop styles)
-I have a table saw, miter saw, circular saw, reciprocating saw, grinder, sanders, trim router and basic hand tools. I do not have a drill press, dremel, track saw, jigsaw or large template printer. Am I good to attempt this and make do with what I have, or what essential tools am I missing?
-I don't really like vinyl wraps and this will be a generic home use cabinet. Could I sand, stain and clear finish the plywood and just t-mould the edges and expect a decent looking cabinet?
-Where would I buy a plexiglass marquee that would be generic and not game title specific? Are there other solutions?
-How do you build in concealed caster wheels and then lock/brake them when we can't see or reach the wheels while upright?
-Is there a FAQ or guide for selecting and ordering parts ie. controls, wiring encoders, and audio?
Thanks again for any guidance.
