What's the most impressive MAME Cab you've seen?
<< < (5/5)
FractalWalk:
1UP's is the best looking and most functional design I have seen, which is why I am copying it.

I'm not into the oversize control panels but if I were, Scott's Unicade would get my vote. http://home.austin.rr.com/shumate/unicade/

Roswell is the cab that inspired me orignally a few years back, but the BEAM machine (http://www.geocities.com/brian_coney/maincabinetpage.html) is the design I tried somewhat to emulate.   I had orignally gone with a granite Jurrasic Park theme and scrapped it and did the real oak finish for a nice furniture quality looking machine and it made the wife happy! ;D Some day I will get all the pictures online to see the transformation from granite to oak.

But seriously.   There certainly is more to come.  I mean, how many cockpit/driving cabs have we seen?  What about the shooters?  

I must say, less is more.  I like multifunction cabinets.  I really like the discrete ones.  I think there is a lean to swappable cps, not to mention the recent rotating cabs.  

Also lets not forget the console cabs.  While not every game on a console can/should be played on a cab',  certainly there are some where its perfectly fine.  

Some of the most impressive cabinets in the future will be the ones that display the innovations that everyone will want to copy.

I forgot the homebuilt DDR cab.

1ups and gamepimps supermame are my favorites, supermame is a take off of one of hanna-ho's arcade models, joseq from emuviews bought one from hanna-ho (for major $$$) http://www.emuviews.com/cgi-local/show.cgi?SERIAL=1445&LANG=en_US

I like gamepimps cab better ;) and I'm sure he didn't pay what joseq did!

I think when I build my dream cab it will resemble hh's and gp's cab.
