- Trying to put this together was horrendous, but was able to figure it out. If I can do it, anyone can do it, but good luck!

Thank you for this video. The absolutely horrendous quality of that control panel tells me I will never purchase anything from that company.
Thank you for this video. I considered going with GRS because their kits are relatively cheap compared to others but now it's apparent they are cheap for a reason. I'm leaning towards Northcoast Customs now.
Moral of this story is you're better off building your own.
1000% what I'm doing
How'd that go???
@@mikewarner5583 good
Great job! Thank you for sharing your experience. Gives me something to think about regarding buying vs fabrication.
that is an insane amount of parts. i have ikea ptsd not sure i could do this.
Yeah it's a lot and the instructions they send are basically useless. I'm hoping this video helps the next person :-)
Purchased this from GRS back in September. Damaged parts, stuff missing, and things not how I asked. They were replying to me up until Nov 10th then won't reply to my emails or return any phone calls.
Numerous other Tuber build/reviews have noted issues with GRS poor quality control for accessory (brackets) hole positions, incomplete/missing drilled holes, poor fit (cut length of console walls), and weak overall construction with cam-lock and 1/2" MDF strength. Addition of extra corner brace brackets were added to strengthen sturdiness when playing rambunctiously. Customer service reported to be taxing. Lucky were opted for the DIY assembly as others noted the rushed sloppy "professional" builds that required fixing.
I believe they do have a fabulous vinyl printer system method, but many other quirks that make life "interesting". They are built for a cost (affordable/cheap) and little wiggle room after words.
They might have their issues but they definitely do not use 1/2" MDF. That is just plain incorrect. They use 3/4" which is the industry standard.
I actually bought one of those atlegends arcade legends ultimates, and use it as a base to make an arcade cabinet. Costs about 1/3 of what this does, and is actually already a working machine. Only downside is you can't quite fit a 32" display in it. But for 1/2 the cost of just this empty shell after all the modifications to turn it into a quality mame cab it was a no brainer.
True what's nice about building your own though is that you can purchase different pc systems and personalize them. For example I have all of my steam pc games on this and programmed many of them to run using the arcade controls rather than an Xbox controller. My kids love playing stick fight and castle crashers with the arcade controls.
@@jml60831 Oh you misunderstand. I meant I bought the legends one and just used the shell of it to build my own. The hardware in it is crap, but the shell is cheaper than anything else you can buy. $400 compared to $1200 for this one for example.
Thanks for this video. I was going to get the same cabinet. I had all my options picked from their site but before I pulled the trigger I found your video. You talked me right out of dealing with GRS. I like the design though so I will take some inspiration from your video and build my own cabinet.
Graphics being upside down and sending the wrong replacement pieces is inexcusable. Telling you to just deal with the broken bottom piece is pretty gross too.
Was your delivery insured? If so that’s really gross.
I think you are a saint for you patients in this build. I would have lost it more than once.
Thanks, the fact I knew I'd be making this video helped me stick with it. GRS leaves you all alone unfortunately.
Great video. I was gonna purchase a set of parts but after this sorry to say piss poor kit I'll make my own at least then I can blame myself 😉😂
Really helpful video - been deciding between this and trying to find a local CNC place to take design files and build it myself. Would you say it's worth going through GRS?
My experience is shown pretty well in the video so based on what you see I'll leave it up to you
Nothing better than buying an arcade machine with limited instructions!!!!! Like playing a ps4 game without a manual!!!!! I had a manual back in 85 for karate champ on nes! Did i read it!?????? Hell No!!!!!
When you spend so much money on these cabinets, they at least shouled put the holes in the right place.
They did!
A BIG hole in your wallet....
Wow, thanks so much for posting this. I was definitely about to get one but after seeing this I'll pass. On another vid they were talking about the crazy customer service lady, but I guess it's their entire culture including manufacturing. Shame since such a convenient solution.
I hear you. I have another complete machine though for sale and pick up if you're ever in the Sacramento area. Ready to go!
@@jml60831 I'm in Florida... I'm back to researching though thanks to this vid. I do have some friends somewhat close to you that are looking. Did you mean you have another GRS cab for sale or what is it exactly? The same one you built in the vid? Do you have specs and pictures posted somewhere???
How is the sturdiness of the machine? Does it feel solid?
Yeah it's pretty solid and very heavy
how much this cost pal
You pay good money for those cabinets, but yet they can't even get holes right.
69th like. Lol. Sorry not sorry.
The customer service is bad
