Flat pack arcades

[b0redom]

Hi all,
My youngest is currently pacman mad and has been playing on one of those Arcade 1UP machines. I was thinking of building a bartop arcade machine as I've got all the bits already from a frankensteined X-arcade stick I built on a whim ages ago, and a few monitors lying around, and an old NUC (and a raspberry Pi).

My DIY skills are non-existant though, so I'd need to buy some sort of flat pack kit. Bit of a random question, but has anyone done this?

Looks like:

Bitcade
Arcade World
Flatout arcades

All do them, but there are virtually no pictures of assembled units. Anyone done it? Am I missing any other suppliers?

Regards....

I built one a few years ago.

I used one of the Arcade World kits, I believe it was the precursor to the current 19" kit as mine isn't widescreen.

I modded the case to add some extra features, like a power switched kettle socket on the back as well as USB and Ethernet ports on the side.

This is the finished machine, I have a photo of the insides I'll have to dig out somewhere

Ah cool. Happy with it? Anything you'd change/do different?

And the insides...

Hmm, i'd have picked a slightly bigger monitor, possibly eith HDMI input.

It's entirely self contained, single power inlet, that runs the Raspberry Pi, amplifier, monitor and the light behind the top panel.
