Why?

Simple....MAME doesn't support Street Fighter 3, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Virtua Fighter 3, Dead or Alive 2, Capcom Vs. SNK, Crazy Taxi...etc....Plus, it's a cheap way to add a fun cabinet to the game room.

Great, you have a valid reason, many people build console cabinets without one.

The way I see it is the more experience you can get building these things, the better you get at it. And the better you get at it, the least likely you are to commit one of the ten follies listed above =)

(In actuality, the real reason for building the DC cab is so I have something to play while my wife is hogging the main cab)

We should also add the dreaded "Frankenpanel" to the list....I hate the way a control panel looks with 1500 different buttons and gizmos on it....Unfortunately, there isn't a ton of options there

Organic Jerk:

I just came into possession of a Dreamcast and I was considering doing the same thing since I also want MvC2 and others, but in addition to my already hooked up PC... which might be a bit of a pain since all the buttons are wired already...  I'm not sure if I should hack a gamepad or spend the extra money and get the weird "DC>PSX>IPAC" adapter thing that Andy mentions on his site.

Great list, it's very insightful.... but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "notches" ... I'm currently in the process of building and I would love to know what to avoid..

The DC adapter is about 70 pounds....not sure what that translates too in dollars...about 100?

Too much for my blood
