The point I'm making is arcade machines do not have car radio's installed in them, it just looks so out of place. Many people have done great jobs restoring old cabs and still run Mame on them and you could have done the same and made something really great to look at.

GHoward-  get off your high horse, arcade machines were not made of furniture grade plywood but no one felt the need to tell you so bluntly......

MiKman:
Nice thing about it is you can play some ambient music while you game...  Although I might have put it in a different place and done something different with the speakers I think it kind of a cool idea.

Ah em, 5 inch LCD monitors were not supposed to placed into arcade cabinets to display controls and whatnot, but yet we still struggle to implement them.  ;)

I really don't see a problem with the car faceplate radio. The bottom line is people have different views on what is cool for "their" arcade. I for instance have many "MODS" (speaker lighting, rope lighting, lighted credit buttons, GBA display controls, 15 inch Sub, Amps, etc.) and the thing gets amazing words from guests and family.

Hahah thanks for sticking up for me guys! I could of mounted it in another spot but hey, and yes the easy interface for CD's is a bonus for everyone.. plus since its on another power supply you dont need to be running the whole PC to have a decent system! And as for the speaker grilles im working on it haha they were so cheap they didnt come with em! I really need em to the yellow speakers in a black cabinet just doesnt do it for me either!

On a good note my ArcadeVGA card is on the way so i'll finally have a "MAME" cabinet and not just an "Emulator" Cabinet!

Well rock on everyone! I'd be interested to see some other unique case mods, maybe start a new forum on it if theres intrest...

But then again we dont want to offend the collectors by "destroying" "works of art" in some peoples minds! Well rock on people! This forum is awsome! If anyone has any 4.5" Speaker grilles lemme know! haha
