Interesting cab!

Actually, not a bad idea. If you put something like that together, your parents / spouse / significant other will practically beg you to get / build a "decent" arcade cabinet.

OK, every fiber of my being is just screaming to make fun of this kid. Everything from the weird hallway/room he's in to a comment about scissors/knives to what looks like flies on the ceiling.

But look at this way. He's a kid. He's not a twenty five year old with a job building Trashcade 2.0. He's a kid with limited (or no) funds and limited resources. It's likely his parents probably don't even own any power tools much less any hand tools of any meaningful description.

UberCade:

That poor kid is probably getting a lot of flak over this on YouTube, but yeah he's just a kid. Gotta admire his inspiration. How many kids his age these days do you think even know what an arcade game is? Console and PC gaming has so dominated the whole video game industry here in the U.S. that arcades are all but a fond memory of a distant past. His heart is in the right place, I'll give him that. Maybe in a year or two he'll update the design to incorporate at least a joystick. Playing Mortal Kombat on a keyboard is NO FUN!  :banghead:

drventure:

Hey, gotta start somewhere! Here's hoping he does a little more googling about and comes across some of the cabs on byoac. He's moving in the right direction, just needs further inspiration.

isucamper:

Not only that, but he managed to get MAME running, which is more than some people can say.
