Wall-mounted arcade designs?

SavannahLion:
What did you use/do for mounting on the wall? I was considering a French Cleat but I was told that standard wall mounted toys use an H style bracket...

2084:
I used flush mount hangers similar to the ones in the link below that I got at the local Lowes.  I placed 2 exactly 16" apart on the back of the cabinet and placed the wall ones on the studs.  On the first one I did I put an screw on the bottom to prevent the cabinet from accidentally being lifted off the hangers, but this doesn't seem to be necessary.

Those look awesome! but the power cables look really messy, you should hide them using cable channels.

I'm going to have a 32" LCD TV mounted to the wall in the garage (for use with a treadmill), and was thinking it would be good to get some use out of that as a mame machine as well.

Even better idea, build your control panel into the treadmill so that you have to walk while you game.... You will be the healthiest retro gamer evar!   :D

I was thinking the same thing but figured he just hasn't finished mounting them - should be easy to add some recessed outlets into the wall behind them :
