13thDisciple Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi, I hope I'm OK posting this question in here but I just wanted some advice really over buying a custom arcade bar-top kit, I need it to have artwork ( my own ) and the usual accoutrements like t-molding, buttons etc... you know the kinda thing, it's to house my own arcade game which I have made from scratch, it's a bit like 'Star Force' if you remember that game, anyway I've reached out to a couple of chaps but nothing back as yet, so I'm still fishing, thing is I feel a bit of a pain asking for a custom job, I'd have to do my own artwork for the cabinet, I'd love an illuminated marquee etc, the monitor I intend to use is a 4:3 17" Dell LCD vertically mounted, oh and a bezel also... for the screen, too much to ask ? If you would like to see my game just ask, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 for cheap and cheerful us only try custom gameroom solutions along with a mini pc from alibaba. Or for higher end - a vortex from vpcabs. Im looking at mine right now! 4:3 may be an issue these days though. I have not heard from them for a while but monster arcades or dream authentics may be able to build you something bespoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate that someone like Wells-Garner hasn't stepped up to the plate on this and filled the gap here. Larger, but this may be one to keep an eye on: https://www.retrorgb.com/43-lcd-arcade-monitors-15khz-31khz.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13thDisciple Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Thank you for the help & advice, I've been mulling over my options and I think now I'm going to plum for the "NinBartop" kit from GRS, I had seen them before ( along with many others ) but bypassed them as I wasn't ready then, so after a good rummage around their webside I was suitably impressed, yeah so as & when I'll get one, ship it to the UK no problem, that monitor btw looks fantastic.

ClassicGMR Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Space Invaders nod at 4:30 - very nice! I'm not a shooter fan but I know a lot of people are and this would go over nicely with them. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Like what I see in the video and think it would make a great addition to any gaming system! Let us know when it may be available, with logo and marquee files, etc. I went ahead and moved this thread to the Social Club subforum given the topic.
