Lord Iceman:

I was looking on cab plans and all kind of info I could find about it, long time ago, and in almost all the documenting cab building pages I found was a link to BYOAC, saying how important it was, a must visit.

Odd thing is that I just "found" the forums last month. in the past, all I did was browse through the examples page, reading other people's achievements...

and here am I, building my first cab right now.


sgfootball2006:

I was looking at a popular science magazine and they had a article on how to build an arcade. I went to one of the sites they mentioned and that site had a link to here.

I'll be honest, I forgot, its been to long.  :P

missioncontrol:

saw something on TechTV a few years back about building a cocktail cabinet. I figured if THey could order all the parts to make on then I could build one. Caught the bug did all the research I could used google alot. Then bought Project Arcade the book came out I decided to join the forums..........

I've been a big game fan since I can't remember how far back, and my bro and his roomies in college all had Zsnes and Nesticle running, but none of em could get Mame running.  I had just got a PC, and I discovered the world of emulation, when I found MAME and figured out exactly how to use it.  Then I started reading about these mame cabinet things people were making on the little link of cabs at arcadeathome dot com.  I started searching through the cabs, looking at their websites, and a few of them pointed here.  I showed up on the chat room when I was 16, built my first arcade joystick, got my first cab to build on when I was 17, became an OP on the chat room after major server problems, and now I've gone idle for the last year because of school.
  - anyways, my mame story in a nut shell
