Post Extended weekend project!

Blocking the toy cabinet for now, until I make room for it elsewhere. Still need to get a TV for it and finish up the rest of the painting and finishing up work, but it works and plays fine!

That's awesome!
I've really wanted to build my own cabinet for a while.
Are you just running MAME or some other emulator off of a PC?

Please keep updating this thread with some progression shots.

That's is pretty impressive! Love to see it when it's finished.

And just how did you manage to convince your significant other that this was a good thing to have in your sitting room ;)

Aaron: Yeah, strictly a MAME cabinet, recently built a new PC and decided to use the old one for MAME.

silent killer: I debated putting in a joystick for player 3 and 4 but decided to hold off for now. Building the control panel was a little easier than I thought so adding on for 3 and 4 later on shouldnt be to bad.

baroncasino:Wow that is very well built cabinet, but not to fond of his control choice. I used to have a neo candy 29" sitdown and thought about building this one as a sitdown but I decided to go with the old style feel.

backtrack:Two words...Puzzle Bobble.

Thanks for all the compliments, more pictures to come!
