The Final Boss arcade cabinet, lit in a dark room.

Drag to turn it

Depiction, not a photograph. The cabinet and its panels come from the Final Boss's own CAD; the PC, speakers, subwoofer and board are the real parts at real size, shown where a builder would fit them; the screens and the wiring are drawn to illustrate.

Why the materials matter

The plywood edge of a Phantom cabinet, showing the laminated layers — Every cabinet is cut from 3/4-inch furniture-grade birch plywood and finished in a durable layer of black laminate. It is heavier than a flat-pack machine on purpose — weight is what stops a cabinet flexing after a few years of real play.

	Phantom	Typical flat-pack
Cabinet	3/4" birch plywood. Stronger, heavier, built to last.	Thin MDF or particle board that flexes and wears down.
Artwork	Wrapped, sealed artwork that won't peel or bubble.	Stapled or stickered artwork that can peel and fade.
Controls	Commercial-grade joysticks and buttons built for real games.	Consumer parts not designed for heavy play.
Lighting	Integrated RGB lighting that brings your arcade to life.	Basic or no lighting. Less immersion.
Final assembly	Hand-built, tuned and tested by arcade experts.	Mass-produced, minimal QC, more risk.

Details you can feel

Seamless, vibrant and sealed for a finish that looks incredible from every angle.
Buttons light up to match the game you are playing. Instant immersion.
Commercial parts, responsive and built to handle decades of play.

Final Boss: the full parts list

The Final Boss · the flagship

What that build looks like at the top of the range

Everything above is how every Phantom is made. This is the parts list on the biggest one — the four-player Final Boss, where the things other builders sell as upgrades are simply in it.

Three screens

48″ LG UltraGear OLED: The main screen. OLED lights each pixel on its own, so a black playfield is actually black and there is no backlight halo around bright sprites. That matters more here than on a TV, because most of these games are bright objects on a dark field.
Active marquee · 48″, custom: Where most cabinets have a back-lit print of one game, this changes to each game’s own artwork as you scroll, and becomes a DMD score display when you load pinball. Custom-made for this cabinet, at the shape and size an arcade marquee should be.
Active kick panel · 21″: The third screen, set into the base below the control deck. All three change together as you browse.

Four stations of controls

53″ four-player deck: Four inches proud of the cabinet on each side. The middle two stations get a joystick and six buttons in the classic two-row layout; the ends get a joystick and a four-button diamond. Start and coin run along the back edge.
(4) iL Competition 8-way sticks: Industrias Lorenzo Eurojoysticks — the same sticks fitted to commercial cabinets — in each player’s colour, mounted through the deck’s real hole pattern.
3″ trackball: Centre of the deck, for Golden Tee, Centipede and Marble Madness.
RGB buttons · Ultimarc PacLED64: Illuminated UltraLux pushbuttons on an LED controller: they light only the buttons the game actually uses, and change colour to match that cabinet’s original panel.
(2) Sinden light guns: Recoil, and over 300 light-gun games. The modern kind that works on a flat panel — old CRT-style guns do not.
(2) guitar controllers: Over 800 songs, on the same PC as everything else. Switching from a fighter to a rhythm game is a menu pick, not a cable swap.
Soft-close accessory drawer: Hidden under the deck, lined with foam egg-crate. Guns, controllers, wheel and guitars live in there between sessions.

Cabinet, sound and games

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1: Satellites on the speaker shelf built into the cabinet behind the marquee band, subwoofer in the base. The same system Klipsch sells for desktop gaming.
Custom-built gaming PC: In the base, behind the side panel: a real PC, not a bare arcade board. Dennis builds it first, and it can be specced up from there.
20,000+ games · arcade to PS3: The Next-Gen Gamer package, browsed through the LaunchBox front-end so choosing a game feels like an arcade rather than a desktop.
Custom-designed graphics: No catalogue of themes. The artwork is worked out one-on-one with Dennis, from a theme, a colour, a family name or a favourite game, and printed in-house.
T-molding in your colour: Pressed into a routed slot around every exposed edge, the way a real cabinet is finished. An RGB LED outline round the whole machine is available.
(4) 2″ casters: So a machine 53″ wide, 34″ deep and 78″ tall still rolls out for four players and back against the wall afterwards.

Standard on a new Final Boss. The smaller Phantoms are built the same way — the parts list is what changes.
