Fellow hobbyists, check this out.

A childhood friend of mine who teaches vocational electric and electronics started his MAME cabinet a while back, and is now nearing completion. What sets it apart from most are the constituents and craftsmanship. I’ve seen plenty of setups that had nice sticks, screens, and whatnot, but the cabinets themselves tend to be a bit thrown together. Not here.

This subject is being constructed ground up with high quality materials, precise cuts, and exquisite attention to detail. Assuming that’s still the case, he has also enlisted yours truly to do the artwork when assembly is complete.

• 60mm competition sticks
• Retractable castors
• Custom cut marque with rotating color back-lighting
• Coin door on order (pay to play, lol)

 

IIRC it’s powered by a solid state terminal with 1080p plasma monitor, but in any case it has hinged component access and pull out drawers for quick swapping.

The downside is quality takes time – but when finished this thing will be a beast. Who’s up for a whoopin’ at Samurai Shodown II?
