My Pedestal Arcade build | Tips for building your own 2020!

My Pedestal Arcade Build, and tips for how to build your own in 2020!

I recently put together a Pedestal arcade cabinet from a donated control panel and an inexpensive TV pedestal from Amazon. The pedestal had a great unique look and finish, with a ton of useful places to hold controllers, consoles, games and more.

This video will go over what a pedestal cabinet is, as well as other types of arcade cabinets. We will then talk about the computer in my build, and some details of how it’s laid out.

Finally we will look at mock builds and compare/contrast them by rating each one. The idea here is to introduce you or inspire you with ideas and approaches, from ready made all the way to custom everything. Links below will include sources for all of the sites mentioned above.

Please note I use affiliate links to support the channel. It won’t cost you any more, but it helps me out greatly for project funds.
