I finally started my MAME cabinet after a fair amount of procrastination because I couldn't decide on a design. First, I was going to build an upright, but the wife didn't think it would fit in with the decor. Next, I thought maybe a bartop or a cocktail. Then I was going to build a modified cocktail like the Quasicade CFX. That was until I saw Knievel's Woody Masterpiece. . . http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55789.0 Knievel's design was a perfect combination of size, features and looks, the wife even liked it. So, with Knievel's help, I started building the cabinet. Currently, I am about 75% done and I will post pictures of the build process shortly. The cabinet will consist of. . . 19" LCD monitor AMD 2500 CPU Happ 3" Trackball Happ Buttons 3 - Mag-Stik Plus Joysicks I-PAC 2 I would like to thank everyone here in advance, because I have learned everything from what kind of glue to buy, to whether or not to t-mold all the way around cabinet sides. I would like to give a special thanks to Knievel for all of his help and guidance. I don't have a pithy name for the cabinet yet, so name ideas are welcome. :) |

After making a pattern out of 1/2" plywood, here is one of the sides. Here is the base before the kick plate was installed. Just in case I needed to level the cabinet slightly, I installed adjustable feet. Here is the base complete. |

To make it easy to move the cabinet to the basement, I opted to use metal cam/dowels to assemble it. Here is the side with the dowels attached. Here is the back of the cabinet with the cams and dowels attached. |

ahh! Looking great... Knievel is an inspiration for us all... As for names: BAD ASS MOTHER 4000, twice as fast as your ass! or The wife even liked it What games do you plan on playing on it? |

Looks good so far. I'm wondering aren't the adjustable feet a bit to far from the outside? I mean, the base looks very stable, but when you have to use the feet it may become a little instable. Are you planning to stain it like Knievel's cab? |
