I don't want to build an 'exact' arcade cabinent but just something to replicate the arcade experience. It would be more like a stand up shelf.
I already have the PS3 and HDMI cables, and the TE stick which would sit in place. I would need to buy:
-A widescreen monitor
-Some kind of plastic to cover the monitor (type of plastic = ???)
-Wood (or whatever material I use)
-Black Paint
-Two Magnet things for the drawers
-Two Dragon Decals
I need a few questions answered so if someone could help.
I'm debating if I should buy a marquee or just spray paint the letters MK. What do you think?
Would wood be the cheapest material to use or is there something just as sturdy?
Spray paint or a can of black paint? I'll be honest, I have no idea how to spray paint, but I know how to paint regularly. I think the can of black paint would go further and be cheaper. And after I paint it, what should I apply after it? Clear coat? Or just leave it?
Could somebody you measure the width of the TE stick? And what's the average size monitor I should try and get?
Any tips or how much I'm looking to spend? I'm not trying to do this perfect, it'll just most likely be a tall rectangle with some open out drawers.
I might end up not even doing this due to how much it may cost but it seems like a fun project. I'm just trying to get a some-what cool result but with the cheapest options. I wonder if I can just go into a furniture store to find something similar LOL.
Here's my rough sketch (I was on a 10 hour trip with nothing but MS paint lol)

which is why I can't see it being more than $300. I'm not doing coin slots or wiring in the stick for two people. It's more like a tall storage shelf to look like one for the single player online experience.
