You People are going to cost me money!
« on: August 27, 2003, 04:43:18 pm »
Last december I spent over $2000 to build my third MAME cabinet, and I swore it would be the last one!  But reading all about other people's projects has got me itchin' to redesign and build another one!  My friends are going to laugh their asses off if I tell them I'm building another cabinet!!!!

Great room!!  

My only comment would be about the pool table light.  I have one in my rec room and I wished I didn't.  I have a ping-pong top that goes on top of my pool table BUT the light gets in the way, it makes ping-pong totally unplayable.  I also think that the light is going to get in the way of you watching the plasma TV.  

I would do everything in the room first, and then make a cardboard cut out of the light, hang it up and see if you like it.
