I like the color - is that painted, formica, or something else? What color is it exactly (sometimes photos don't show true color)?

I don't like the mame marquee or the hump in the back but otherwise it's pretty cool looking. Is that a TV in there? Did you use a Happs bezel? cuz thats what im thinking you did and it looks good, assuming you didnt have to remove it from the casing

versapak:

are those just normal concave buttons or something different, they somehow look different but i'm thinking that's just the flash reflecting off of them.

Nope, that isn't just the flash.

They are normal concave buttons, but they are clear with colored plastic inserts inside them.


I used 4 Pelican Real Arcade Universal controllers to make my control panel, and those are actually just the buttons that came insde them.

I have gotten several inquiries about them lately, and several people looking for where they can find the same style buttons. I don't know where to find buttons like that other than in the Pelican sticks, but if anyone does happen to find them, I too would like to know where. :)

Here is my first attempt at a cabinet.  I just finished about a month ago and now I'm having a blast playing on it.

I went with the oak finish instead of the traditional arcade look because it fit my basement better (plus it made a big difference in getting my wife on board with the project!).

Still sorting out some cosmetics (like the leading edges of the side panels, etc) but it is working and the cp is perfect for me.

Nice Job, 1hookedspacecadet

Here is another Off Road MAME conversion. I have long since sold it to fellow BYOAC contributor, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

The only problem with these cabinets is that are extremely freaking tall!
