RetroBlast Video Review: SlikStik Arcade Cabinet
PaulT:
I do not think the price is an issue, the product looks like a quality piece of kit and I believe Kev has completed an objective review. The like's of us who post and search this board are probably looking for a different option most likely a cheaper option, after all this is build your own arcade. Although for me building or refubishing is the fun. but if I had the money I would definitely go for the Slik Stik it is cool.
Good job Kev, you dont have to justify yourself, you have paid for it in more ways than one.

And you're more than entitled to post your opinion. But when you start accusing me of bias, I have the right to respond as well.
Oh, and if you have a place where I can buy a factory new complete MAME system for $1300, I'm interested. One can never have too many cabs. ;)

Well I'm pretty impressed by what I've seen of the cab (& the review).
If SlikStik were in England (where I live) then I would be very tempted to buy the budget version, finish it off, and make my own control panels. All this I could do in the comfort of my own home / shed.
As it stands I have to fart about in a cold garage 10 miles from where I live. My woodworking skills are lacking (haven't really got to that part yet tho) and I don't have enough time :(

I have a full MAME system for sale right now for $1200. Athlon 1ghz PC fully loaded with a Dreamcast + 20 games, MP3s, 800 music videos, PC games and MAME. Uses a Sharp 27" TV (s-video to PC) as the monitor and includes a universal cable descrambler. Watch cable TV, DVDs via the player in the PC, connect any console gaming systems, etc. A 2 player X-Arcade is the control panel and also includes the Dreamcast connection cable, so the Dreamcast games can be played arcade style. An RF wireless keyboard with thumb trackball is included for full PC use. There is a storage area that the keyboard can be placed when not being used, and this is where the Dreamcast, USB hub and Quickcam are stored as well.
Shipping via Yellow Freight to Ohio would be in the ballpark of $300.
Let me know if you're interested and I can provide pics. I'd rather not ship though because I prefer to setup & display the system to my customers, but I'll make an exception in your case since you know what you're doing.
Fresh out of my factory called "The Workshop".

I always see people post about their lack of "woodworking skills". You're not building a house to live in, you're building a cabinet. Trust me, I had no woodworking skills to brag about when I started building systems and retrofitting cabinets. But you know what, it's not difficult, especially if you're going to follow plans. If you can follow directions, then you can follow plans to build a cab.
