Finally got some pics. Been like this for years, never had a chance to finish it cause its been USED/PLAYED to much.


Here is a Full Shot of the Cabinet.

Cool idea. I don't recall ever seeing that done --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type--. Has given me some ideas. Cheers.

Sooo... there's a monitor laying flat at the panel level??

Very interesting! Did you custom build this or is it a converted Baby Pac-Man?

NO MORE!!

Hey, that's sharp.

When we met, I knew the cat had your tounge about something.  You wanted to talk about your cab but kept stopping yourself.

That is just an incredible Idea.  How do you toggle between screens?  Are both always on?  c'mon man, details!

That thing is smooth!

Leave it to thenasty to come up with something wild like that. I bet the whole cab is just modded as hell!

...I'm pretty sure your cab is totally unique. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that. I had to look at your pics for a while before I realized what you set up....very neat!

Does the monitor that's not being used show anything ? (like a screensaver?)...or is it just off?.....I think you can have one PC serve 2 monitors (with some sort of a splitter/switcher).....that may be a fun way to keep the "unused" monitor maybe just showing a screensaver or something....on second thought that may be distracting.

I'm looking forward to meeting you on the 20th!.....

MameMaster!
Seriously. Will it fit in my basement or what?

Wow, excellent idea and execution! I'm impressed!

Don't know how feasible it is, but it WOULD be pretty sweet if you could rig it so that the unused monitor showed something like a poster for the game being played on the active screen... Also could be cool for the lightboard for Visual PinMAME...

Thats a really cool looking set up and I really like how you used those comic posters for art.Did you put anything over the poster to protect it?

Hey!!

Where did you get the checkerboard pattern for the front?

That'd sure be handy for my racing themed PolePos MAME cab!
