Video walk through of my arcade and Dream Home Arcade...

Just picked up my 4th cab (after selling my collection in the 90's due to space issues).  Love the setup and you have inspired me. I have house with Living room (fancy?) and a family room. Wasted space as Im single, Living room had never seen people for more then 5 minutes in the whole time i lived there. When i started cab buying i put them in it. but its an odd room for um. I am moving them to the Family room and moving he TV to the living room.   err... not the point..  Seeing your setup has convinced me i may as well do the same, own the house, nobody can ---smurfette---.. why not, as i say yours inspired  :)  very nice..  Wish i had as Iconic machines..

Hard Driving
Neo-Geo (with a 151 cart)
Gauntlet Dark Legend (with Dark Legacy HD and roms so can swap)
Lethal Enforcers (with Leathal Enforcers board mounting in it too so can swap)
MAME machine built in 92?

none are as nice as yours.. Neo is a DONKEY KONG that has seen much better days.. not worth restoring.. Leathal Enforcers is a DIG DUG that has been laminated with wood grain on sides (nice.. but horrid at same time) Gauntlet is a well abused KANGAROO cab..  Hard Driving is in pretty good shape.  None of may cabs are even close to showcase.. even the MAME it was built in the early mame days.. functional and thats it..

dang your setup is nice, hope i can point to it as inspiration in a few months and show mine off too. Just had to say as your really did  igve me a light bulb moment!  now if all may action figures wont get me laughed at!

MAME debuted in Feb 1997.

note the question mark.. I'm old and remembering anything that matters doesn't happen anymore, I can tell you how fun it was finding a router bit to do the t-moulding. How there where no encoders but hagstrom? There where only about 30 projects on the examples page.. (sadly mine is gone, it was there 5+ years ago, but the wayback machine must not go back that far anymore). I had a frankenpanel before it was so harshly looked down on (my machine never really had a name, but On here in the examples it was mame-n-stien.. to go with that Frankenpanel. I "think" lucid (mine was based off his) website had been up about a year.. so I would guess then.. 97- maybe 02-03..  I only mentioned it as most Cabs back then where Flat black with T-moulding in some color. They are works of art now and those old ones where plain and functional (and beautiful in there own way back then).. I would love to do it over.. but time is harder to come by now days..

just looked my profile says feb 02, I came here for help building, so it must have been about then.  sorry rambling in somebody elses thread  :),  been cruising Ebay for stuff for walls since this thread inspired me.. down $200 already. AND!!!! the local arcade shop has a couple machines on EBAY and they are not charging first born for them.. to much.. but they are starting to understand the local market here is drying up.
