Yup, another review, this time of the CyberTech Design (MAMERoom) Ultimate Arcade II plans:

As always, let me know what you think.

Good review, just a couple of questions:

$30 seems fair for detailed cabinet plans
$10 seems a little high for just CP plans, but that's mameroom's business, but . . .

Do the $30 plans include a basic CP installation, or is this not covered unless you buy the other plans?

The $30 is just for the cab plans. The cab includes a area for the CP, with brackets for mounting.

I'm assuming there are no specific CP installation instructions because it would depend on what CP you have.

I've seen those plans and those are the worst damn plans i've ever seen.  Unless i'm missing something, half those measurements made no sense whatsoever.

Actually, those plans are fine.  The only thing was on one of the pages there was an angle missing that had to be manually calculated.   

I had no issues building from those plans.'
