Moe's Arcade - My First MAME Cabinet FINISHED!
BradC:
It's been a while since I've posted an update. I didn't make any more progress for a while until the last few weekends when I was able to get moving on it again. I saved up enough to buy the monitor I wanted, which is a 20" non-widescreen LCD. It's a Westinghouse, which I got on sale at Best Buy for $199. The bezel was made from a piece of black on black matting (like what they use to matte photos with) attached to a piece of foamboard.
Not counting the couple of minor cosmetic pieces to add (front area between controls and bottom of monitor, and plexiglass over the whole front) I am finished! So here are some pics of what it looks like now. Thanks to everyone on this board for making this possible! I could not have done it without this place and its people! Please enjoy the pics.
It's running Mamewah, and I have setup the following emus/games:
* MAME
* Dragon's Lair I
* Space Ace
* Super Nintendo
* Genesis
* Nintendo Entertainment System
* Game Boy/Game Boy Color
* Game Boy Advance
* Arcade Music Box
* LEGO Star Wars I
* LEGO Star Wars II
The LEGO Star Wars games are awesome fun on this machine! They are perfectly built for this type of control setup and the two-player co-operative mode.
I plan to eventually add coin mechs, but that's later. Right now it provides great access to my DVD Rom drive.
Here's a view of the back. (Notice that I've put the speaker back here instead of behind the marquee.)
The cabinet used to be a Centuri Phoenix. Here is the label that's still on the back of the machine:
and with red text that's easier to read the numbers:

I love it

FYI, tornado terry sells a replacement joystick shaft for the reunion stick meant for wood panels. He charges $8.95 and in your case, it is VERY worth the price.

Thanks for the link shardian, I will have to order one of those because the one curently in there is difficult to use (obviously).
shardian:
No problem. Love the artwork by the way. The Duff can is a great accessory. None of the 7/11's got that stuff near me. :'(
