Creating the BEAST Part 1: Design and Components of the World's MOST Expensive 50" Arcade Machine
Welcome to the ultimate arcade cabinet build project! In this video, I kick off my most ambitious creation yet: a 50-inch mega arcade cabinet featuring a real Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and a high-performance gaming PC with a massive 16TB game drive.
It plays ANY Arcade game, ANY modern console game and ANY modern PC title + it can use the huge 16TB drive to run Launchbox Bogbox, Hyperspin, Coinops... everything is included....
There is more...
the full cabinet can be electronically RISED / LOWERED to make it a SITTING AND STANDING cabinet!
This is Part 1 of our journey into building the ultimate gaming setup!
What You'll See in Part 1:
Design Process: Dive into the design with me as I use Autodesk Fusion 360 to create the blueprint for this colossal arcade machine.
Shopping for Components: Join me as I source and purchase essential gear to bring this project to life.
Workshop Tour: Explore the workshop and get an in-depth look at the components that make this arcade cabinet unique.
Why This Build is Special:
It is the first Arcade cabinet that has a 7(!) screen setup, has ALL the modern original consoles physically included AND is electronically height adjustable!
Massive Storage: Never worry about running out of space with a huge 16TB game drive.
Stay Tuned for More!

    Question: I want to build a 6-Player arcade cabinet. Is this a bad idea? I want to be able to play games like super smash bros and minecraft dungeons arcade with multiple players at the same time. Is this feasible, or I should just stick with a 4-Player cabinet? Thanks

    I discovered you channel recently as I'm in the process of building my own arcade cabinet. Great videos, I really enjoy your content. How did you cut the recesses for the trackball and joysticks at the bottom of the panel? Was that done with the shaper? It would be nice to see that part of your process. For now I only have a regular router and I'm wondering if I should make some jigs to get clean and straight edges like yours.

    I'm having issues with my servo motors and LED blinky. Initially, they worked for a bit and then stopped. I'm not sure why they aren't working. Both of them are connected directly to my PC. Additionally, my LED blinky is no longer displaying my game controls. I've tried everything, but I can't figure out why it stopped working.any ideas why it stopped working?

    Design idea. The monitor is big, maybe even too big if you stand directly in front of it. It would be a nightmare to build, BUT, if you could design the control panel with a slide, so one can slide it 20-40cm away from the monitor, that would be realy good for visability i guess.

  • @cda3715

    Love it. Cannot wait to see how this turns out. I think this is the same 18mm plywood you used on the NeoGeo cabinet. Are you going to use the same graphics material that you used on your NeoGeo cabinet. That stuff sounds really durable. I really hope to own a sitting/standing cabinet one day. Daniel you are awesome. Oh forgot. Do they make different size industrial adjustable frames for different size cabinets? Let’s say your customer did a 40 some inch or 32” inch monitor cabinet. If the overall cabinet was smaller you probably would need a smaller adjustable frame I assume.

    • @TheDanielSpies_Arcades
      @TheDanielSpies_Arcades Před 11 dny

    Fantastic build! I have a question regarding the stream deck. My machine setup with have the ability to rotate the screen vertically and I'm wondering if there is a way to program a hotkey to manually rotate the screen. I don't want to have to go into every .ini file for each game and edit the rotation settings.

    • @TheDanielSpies_Arcades
      @TheDanielSpies_Arcades Před 11 dny

      The screen is rotated because of the INI file the game uses to load. Streamdeck can start any game but it will start as setup in that file. So no, I don’t think that can be done 😅

    UPS is responsible for your parcel as soon as they take it in their custody. Nothing on Earth can remove that responsibility as a company - doesn't matter if the handler left the truck door opened or if the handler did not deliver it to the proper address, or even if he took it for himself - the company is liable for anything its employees do during the time they are being paid. UPS should pony up the money and pay you for the lost product as well as damages (slowing production, etc). Incredible. Don't ever forget to put an AirTag in each parcel sent from this moment forward!

    I think there should be a vertical piece of wood at the back (behind the fans) that raises with the top which would act as a backdrop when the arcade is raised and can also hide any cables going up the the main cabinet? Or can those be routed through the legs? This build looks amazing. love the raised desk idea.

    Nice! I've been drawing up plans and collecting parts for an adjustable height pedestal build that can go from sitting to stand up with a larger sized monitor on an adjustable desk mount. A minimalist type arcade machine that doesn't take up too much room. Plus with the monitor desk mount you can twist the monitor 90 degrees for those vertical screen games and pinball. Can't wait to see how a pro implements the adjustable height.
