I've got two MAME cabs, restored Donkey Kong upright, restored Pacman cocktail, Radiant Silvergun Conversion, Dreamcast cab (Dynamo), and Xbox racer (Pole Position II cockpit cab).  I also built a minipacman with 3 hacked Jakks games, and I'm working on putting an Arkanoid in a Dynamo cab.  I've also got a complete Warlords Cocktail that isn't working that I need to figure out.

I like doing different things.  I'm going to go back and make a modular CP like Doc's Modular Mame for one of my MAME cabs.  Also, restoring original cabinets helps you learn a lot about arcade cabinets in general.

OMG....wish i didnt even start this thread up now.....Just given me more ideas....Ive got the upright...and what a good idea....make a vertical 4 way cocktail....wonder what the wife would think of that idea.......maybe If I borrow anouther upright and keep them close together in a dark room they Might breed and give me a little cocktail or bartop??Whats the chances of that....

If you weren't in some imaginary state like NH I would bite....

Mame cabinets breed the desire to go to auctions which leads to buying dedicated cabinets which leads to a want for pinball machines... which leads to the dark side.

I have in the game room:

  2 mame cabs - 1 mini, 1 large?
  280zzzap (B/W bally driving goodness)
  Moon Cresta clone (Starfighter cabaret)
  Neo Geo 19" (Jammatized- msc boards to play with)
  Class of 1812 - pinball (Keeper)
  Jurassic Park - pinball (FOR SALE)

On deck:

  Cabaret Turbo (project-frozen screen)
  Cabaret Rally-X (project-mame horizontal cab to replace the large? one)
  Bubbles upright (project-MultiWilliams)
  Tank Battalion upright (project-vert classics mame)
  Star Castle (project-vector goodness) coming soon :)
  A funky little 10-game bartop that pinballjim gave me. Haven't even turned it on since bringing it home.

it's depressing when I list them out... lotsa fun though!

It all started with one mini mame cabinet. Even bought this last house with a pressing need for a game room.

I say RUN!! AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had chosen a better initial cablinet like the early Atari cabs or Williams.  I like the look much better.  If I were to build another cab it would either be a Galaga style with the almost parallel to the floor monitor or a sit down.   Got no room though.  Anyone wanna buy a broken down Black Knight 2000 to help me make some room?    ;)
