I thought about doing something similar to this when I was about 15, but never got around to it.

@IHDesigns

If you send me a mail, I can send you the blueprints of the design that I found. It has all the different wood piece measurements.

[basshuter2007]

inside looks messy man

[scozzahisee]

what coin mechanism/system do you use and where can I buy one from?

[HelpSaveTheEarth2051]

I second this question.

[BESTGAMER1212]

old skool thats sick

[simplexalarms]

That looked like a MacBook in the cabinet!

[mattbode]

Its a Toshiba Dynabook... getting kind of old now!

[bibinson]

Yeah, it doesn't even look like a macbook.

It'll run quieter if you remove the top half of the laptop, as the old screen in it prevents it from ventilating, making it heat up.

[spencyj]

you are a god! i must have one

[perry80s]

how do you hook-up the coin slot to PC?

[mattbode]

Its just connected to the same as all the buttons which plugs into my laptop via USB.

When the coin falls, it bumps a little switch and only AUS 20c fit (adjustable)

[AKUMARI0]

that is not home made people sale this 4 200 bucks  dude u busted

[TNXcrew]

maybe the cocktail itslef is real but the inside is homemade

[mattbode]

Dude, its real. Check out my site for pics in the making at members. optusnet. com. au / mattbode

[prowfsx]

man you should put a lcd screen in that and make it run the latest games but good job!

[PVTpublic]

an lcd screens only problem is that it doesnt look like the arcade style with fuzzy lines n shit going across if ya know wha i mean

[joninyt]

its because the video camera is recording the screen...it does the same when you use your camera phone and record tv...its not the actuall

screen...

[mattbode]

yeah, lcd doesnt look as authentic... I like the CRT... just way to big :)

[amiga2000]

love the "dual" screens.

[DAGSTERZ26]
