After my first mame cab I picked up a gutted pole 2 cab and make myself a driving mame cab...and then the dedicated cab bug got me... and it got me good....


new projects include

race drivin cockpit, phoenix, and gunfight...

I rebuild my cab a ton of times... 

but I went with hot swappable control panels... So my one cab has a dedicated defender control panel, 2player 8ways fighter, classic (4 way, asteroid buttons, then a qbert 4way), a tron control panel (with a few extra buttons for spinner games,  A trackball control panel, a 49way control panel (with buttons for consoles... but don't like it all that much)...  And a starwars light (hydra controller)... 

I also have the parts and plans for a ton more parts and plans for 3 person driving cab... but might stick with two for space...  ahh the list goes on.

And I have a dreamcast cabinet.  This one was nice and used it all the time for 5 months... and I haven't turned it on in ages.   Might get rid of it and use the parts for a cocktail table...

I just finished my first - but I'm already going down the same route as leapinlew... a dedicated  4way, with a vertical monitor, and driving cab, and then I've already got a 8-way, but it may need to be "updated"....

I am almost done with my cab, and I don't really see why I would build another.  It was fun and it is nice, but I think I will go with the real thing from here on out.

I just don't picture mameing another cab.

For some people it's a space issue. To go with "the real thing" I presume you mean the actual video games? I have room for 3 games. For me, to maximize gameplay with the space I have - mame is the answer. I enjoy so many games that it would take a huge frankenpanel and a rotatable monitor to play all the trackball, 4 way, 8 way, dual 8 way, driving and spinner games I like.
