I thought this might be an interesting poll for the overall forum population...

I remember when I was researching the example pages here at BYOAC when I was building my MAME machine that a LOT of guys were building them (i.e., cutting/assembling the MDF panels) IN the living room! And some of them were even married!

Where did you build/are you building your Arcade cabinet?

I could not imagine cutting MDF in my house, even if I was single.  I still find layers of dust in my garage months after cutting.  Built in garage then moved it to the living room.

Well, I am working on the cabinet in the basement, but I've got a bag of happ pushbuttons on the coffee table right now... I'd better hide them before the wife sees.  I'm also designing the thing on my laptop on the couch, so really I think the effort is split 50/50 between basement/living room.

My previous project "portable markade" was assembled in my bedroom back when I was in university, living at my parents place, but I didn't see that as an option ;)

I built mine in the garage "workshop", but being a nonconformist southerner I had to move my cars out first.  I'm part of the tiny %5 or so minority in this part of town who use their garage for fully operational vehichles rather than tool storage to support the 3 or 4 "project cars" in the driveway or on the street.
