Ok, so I've been away from this board for a few years now.  Since then I've mostly finished my cab, I got married and I have 2 kids.  I just turned the big 4-0 last week and my wife threw me a surprise party.  One of my uncles was there and he really enjoyed my MAME cab.  He wants me to build him one so that got me thinking that I need to visit this site.
Returning to this site brought back some memories of other peoples' cabs but one in particular was standing out in my mind.  Quite frankly, I'm surprised his cab wasn't in the stickied thread.  Maybe he never got to finish it.
To give you a time frame, it was 5 years ago now that I quit coming to these forums and he was still working on it.  This person's cab had a space-age look to it.  He had done some really detailed planning for the construction of it.  I think he had a bunch of rendered images of the cab.  I'm thinking that what he was calling it had "Mission" in the name of it.
I know that's not a lot to go on but I'm hoping that some of you regulars that have been around for years can help me out and let me know whatever became of this cab.  I just remember being blown away with some of his images and would like to see the final product, if there is one.

Thanks,
Dennis

Turns out that some of the things he was working on had a voltage spike and put him in suspended animation.  They're still looking for a way to reverse it.
