I do agree with you on the part of having all the games included onto the cabinet wouldn't be a good choice. I'm just going to put all of my favorite games onto me and my father's MAME Cabinet(along with my father's favorites as well).
Also, AICJDR, from taking research myself for building my own MAME cabinet, I would recommend just building one instead of buying a cabinet from Dreamarcades, due to the fact on what route you take for building a MAME cabinet, you could save some money.

I get saving money and all that but I have like NO CLUE how to build one and have no time at all...with work and school.
Unstupid:
I dunno... all their machines look pretty ugly to me... maybe it's because they are taking a nice classic design and sticking a god awful monster control panel on it... I say build your our or look for someone else out there selling kits... I know on the KLOV forums there are a couple guys selling reproductions of actual cabs.
Seriously... WTF?
I wouldn't even touch that thing just incase that tumor is contagious! Good luck reaching that coin door!

It's funny, because I copied my design from that guys website. I even tried reaching out to that guy in an email, saying that I was A big fan of his work, and that I couldn't afford what he was asking for those units, but that I was going to try and build one myself. I thought that maybe he'd email back and give me his blessing on it, but never herd from him! As far as the games are concerned, It does come loaded up with not only the games, but with Hyperspin installed as well. And with out their permission from what I've herd! NOT COOL! If you end up going this route I would highly recommend you sign up Over at Hyperspin and donate for using their frontend. Trust me! It's well worth it! Looking forward to seeing where you go with your project.

I would recommend buying the book that the administrator(saint) published. Also, look around the forums for what's already been made. I'm still new to this, but I still keep on trying. Also, if you do buy the book and think up of a concept for your cabinet, the other members can take a look at it in your artwork and give suggestion. Plus, contact your friends at work or school to see if they can help you out on your concept when you have off from work or school.
