My MAME cabinet is complete!

Well, after a month of building and tinkering, my MAME cabinet is complete. With the exception of some side decals and such, it's up and working great, providing hours of mindless fun for myself and the kids (and the wife when she get's the itch to kick my butt at Centipede).

I'll go into detail on how I built it and such in the next week or so, probably placing it on my website.

Other than the controller (from X-Arcade), everything else I bought locally. The system is run on an old P4 computer I had laying around, I bought a 22" monitor off Craigslist, and all the wood/paint/screws, etc. was bought at HDepot. Oh, the t-molding is from T-molding.com

Thanks for the compliments. I really enjoyed building it and highly recommend it if you can do it.

Now that I think about it, it might be a 21" monitor. I originally planned to put a 17" we had laying around, but it was just too small. I think the bezel I built around it makes it look smaller than 21" or 22".

It's running Maximus Arcade. There are a couple bugs with it, but it's an easy to configure and use front-end and worth the $25 asking price. You can find out more at maximusarcade.com

I'll post a few more pics tomorrow, and eventually detail the building on my website.

No, I made the marquee in Photoshop.
