Please don't. I can't stand websites that feel the need to size your windows for you. That's just bad design IMO. Most browsers remember your window settings when you close them so if you close one and then open a new one it will use the new size. This happens alot with popups and ads. Irritating. |

(if you didn't catch the reference, don't worry.. I'm not actually making fun of you) This site has been posted here a lot of times already. It's a bit mean spirited, but funny to read the first time. It can get a bit old though after a while (the pages themselves, not the reposts, although that is tiresome too) |

While I don't think any of those cabs are particularly great, the builders obviously spent a lot of time making them (because these things take a lot of time to build). Also, I notice that "Arcade Paradise" is featured on there but I'm sure most of us have seen "Arcade Paradise 3" and are quite jealous of how kick ass it is. It probably wouldn't have been possible without learning from the original. |

Personally, I think the site is hilarious - but for a one time read only... One thing you have to remember when looking at examples is that they're old. They pre-date cheap 27" tv's and 21" CRT's. They sometimes pre-date affordable keyboard encoders. When you look around at all the new stuff coming out now, it really has made the creative process much easier. Even a lot of the frankenpanel stuff will likely go away with some of the new joysticks coming out. It was much more laborious back a couple years ago even... I find myself pretty critical of some of the "examples" but whenever you can read about the creative thought and restrictions that went into the cabinet along with the pictures, you can see why they chose to do what they needed to do. I'm just still not sure about pac-matt... |

So what's wrong with using a 21" CRT or a TV??? Having an old 21" CRT no one wanted was the main reason I started down the path of making my own cab. While I do think this site is mean I personally found most of the examples funny and I did enjoy all the swearing and thought that added a lot to the site. However, I wouldn't appreciate my cab appearing on a site like that... |
