Poll: Best looking Custom Arcade so Far
krick:
Anyone remember that guy who had the "Crap MAME" site?
He humorously "reviewed" MAME cabinets that he thought were particularly badly done.
A lot of people were offended but it did showcase a lot of shall we say "interesting" cabinets that wouldn't have gotten attention any other way.
The majority of the cabinets he made fun of were people trying things that would be considered "unorthodox" by most people's standards. One that stands out is the MAME machine inside a coffee table. Another is the giant rotating control panel cabinet that had like 3 sets of driving controls.
Personally, I love when people try "crazy" things. The result may not always turn out to be the "best looking" design but often they inspire other people to think outside the box (or cabinet, if you will) as well.
I, for one, would love to see "Crap MAME" come back.

I'm not a fan of that CP setup. Check out the joysticks - for most of the games, where it is just you playing a 1 player game, you'll be standing way off to one side. If you like the setup then I might suggest a smaller trackball, maybe mounting it without the mounting plate so that the front two joystick sets can be more in the middle.

1. UltraMame (http://www.ultramame.com/)
2.The Ultimate Arcade Machine (http://netbox.home.mindspring.com/arcade)
They are both based on a defender style, i think is the best looking, and both use nice oak stained plywood.
I just wanted to start a poll seeing some others opinions. You can just make a list. Thanks
