Dude, just about every idea that people have on these forums has been "stolen" (and then usually improved upon) by someone.

Heck, just check out Ond's thread

He stole all his ideas from me  ;D

Seriously though, do some browsing, esp hit the Hall of Fame worthy projects page

See what might work for you, what wouldn't then combine and subtract.

Thank you for the link. I just ordered the newest edition of the book that saint published, and I've been asking questions on the threads in the Project Arcade section, and already found some inspiring ideas. In other words, I've been making progress in putting together how I want me and my father's MAME cabinet to look using bit and pieces from various members ideas. So I thank you all for prying me out of my shell.

One word of caution, If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, sorry wrong speech. Once you start getting involved in this hobby, it can consume you. Look at Le Chuck, he wasn't satisfied building a normal sized cabinet he had to build one 1/6th scale, that actually works  ;D. Looking forward to what you and your Dad come up with.

I think Le Chuck's next project will be to shrink himself down to 1/6 so he can play his cab as God intended.
