An arcade game is a thing, but people here typically call them cabinets.

Its not a huge thing, but being an enthusiast site and all, it's kind of a peeve of mine. From your comments, I expected to see pictures of a row of games.

Hi there,

Nice job on the cabinet!  It has a nice clean look, and I'm sure it's a blast to play.  I really like the white t-molding.. nice touch.

In my experience though, Mame cabs are never finished--they're abandoned!  :)  Hopefully you'll have a few months worth of playtime on it before you decide to rip into it again..  :o

That's one of the nicest mame cabs i've seen, except that the angle on the monitor seems a bit too extreme to me. Did you convert an old Nintendo cab, or build a replica?

I love the old coin door, though. :)

Which is funny because that's the thing I liked MOST about the cab.

My wife wouldn't let me decase the brand-new 21" I put into my cab on the first go-around, so it was sitting parallel to, and just behind the front glass.

When I picked up the used 19" that's in it now, I immediately built a lean-back bracket for it, so that it would be away from the glass.

Maybe it's a pet peeve of mine, growing up with the early cabs, but I always liked the monitor to be recessed from the front glass, the way it was on most of the early cabs.
