Step 1. Know what you are talking about FIRST before you go into the viper pit. I spent years stalking this site before I started posting Step 2. Don't try to be a know-it-all on your first attempt. While you may find a few suckers to buy this stuff, you'll be supporting it for years to come (see Paige's post) Step 3. Don't drink and post Step 4. When LeChuck, Paige, Maximus or a lot of others take the time to respond to you, show some respect. They are some of the most talented and well versed people in this hobby. Step 5. Have fun. I started with this: And ended up with this: All because I listened, paid attention and didn't act like a spoiled brat. Now, that ^^ I can sell. AJ |

Well-said, AJ. It's not, "Let's torment the newbies." It's "Hey, I've been there before, I know what works and what doesn't work." That's why Dandro is my favorite newbie. He came on, got feedback, and didn't get all butt- hurt when it was different than what his initial thoughts were. In fact, it's turned into a really nice cabinet. Same with CoryBee, who already chimed it. |

Not only because it is impossible given current technology, but also because the ultimate mame cabinet if improperly done can easily end up being worse than your standard baseline stock streetfighter setup with 19" monitor that costs a fraction of what some of those high end builds cost. |

RESPECT :laugh2: Give me a break bud, plus I only respect others who respect me.. Personally I think all you guys are stuck in the old ages... And just hating for no reason at all.. You guys are acting if I said my cabinet is better then yours..lol Anyways this is becoming pointless and going to far... This is becoming the dumbest forum I've been on... With a bunch grumpy old men that think they know it all... --- Quote from: mcseforsale on July 27, 2013, 10:40:36 pm ---Step 1. Know what you are talking about FIRST before you go into the viper pit.
