This machine is a classic example of why you shouldn't do something just because you can.

He has a bunch of 270 degree wheels on there and I am not currently aware of a single title that uses more than one. While I see no shifters or pedals at all. Driving games are a category that are ridiculously hard to emulate in bulk on a single cabinet. As there are 3 different basic steering wheel types, a buttload of pedal combinations, and shifters that range from 2 gear to 6 gear, plus they can have upwards of 6 buttons in addition to the wheels, pedals and shifters.

Build your mame cabinet and then just toss down $300 to get a decent driving cabinet to sit next to it. Don't spend another $300 to make your mame cabinet emulate a bunch of drivers crappily.

Mario Kart, according to the write-up.  And looking at the videos and write-ups, it seems to be a cabinet for everything (PC games, console and arcade).

I agree though that it's better to build seperate systems for specific game types rather than trying to cram everything into one monster machine.
