That's pretty sweet, but don't go bidding on that. I think with some hard graft and determination you could build your own. Ok, it may not be as good, but you have to start somewhere. You'll find plenty of good advice around here.

That said, he has three of these sweet machines up for grabs, so there's plenty to go round.

Wow!!! I read and I watch this forum and build this cab over 3 years of hard work using all the feedback given on this site and this is how you guys treat me?!? Nice!!

WOW, what a waste of time, that is the most pitiful excuse... just horrible, I want my time back, ugh!

Tell me that screenshot wasn't a deliberate slam on Americans.

I'm surprised he hasn't been reported for selling a fully loaded computer.

I'm suprised he hasn't been reported for selling a fully loaded P.O.S cab!

I'm surprised he hasn't been carted away by men in white suits for thinking that people will fall for that rip off.

Thats it, I give up. There is no way my project is going to look as smooth as that.

Circo · « **Reply #10 on:** December 11, 2007, 10:25:48 pm »

I would rather buy a cab from SlikStik......BURN!!!!!!

Namco · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2007, 04:02:24 am »

I really hope you can turn that thing around and find a real cab on the other side.

Its amazing what you can do by recycling a couple of old broken pallets and a bit of wood glue and 6" nails !!

And one of them has a bid!

Someone email the bidder and save him!

hsstie · « **Reply #18 on:** December 13, 2007, 02:01:49 am »

Man that is sweet. Thats a real tough choice of my fav part of the cab, between the controller or the real wood cab. ( it IS real wood isn't it...not just fake wood cardboard stuff! )

yea, hard to resist that real wood craftmanship there

surface tension · « **Reply #19 on:** December 13, 2007, 02:52:02 am »

Come on, own up now... who's bidding on the other 2?

Turnarcades · « **Reply #20 on:** December 13, 2007, 07:51:07 am »

As a British arcade builder, I'm completely embarrassed that a fellow countryman can build such a dog's behind. After all, England is home of the cab builder's best friend, Ultimarc!!

On the other hand, it's all good news for me if that's my competition.....

Puts my projects to shame

ChadTower · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2007, 10:42:15 am »

I may have found a pic of the builder:

RandyT · « **Reply #22 on:** December 13, 2007, 03:07:36 pm »

Someone please tell me that the photo isn't of the cabinet, rather the crate he's shipping it in.

rooter · « **Reply #23 on:** December 13, 2007, 03:40:54 pm »

$100 for a PC, some decent computer joysticks, and a 21" monitor isn't a bad deal.

You should pay that dude to switch to GameEX or something else!

Check out this line:

'It has been made from thick chipboard, painted with a vinal black exterior paint and screwed together solidly.'

.........So it's made of cardboard, tacked together and will fall apart or melt if it gets wet.

ROFFLMFAO!!!

You guys & gals are a trip. I’m glad to be apart of a community that is so passionate about arcades. Love this forum.

That is kinda pricy for a door stop.

LeedsFan · « **Reply #27 on:** December 14, 2007, 03:04:31 pm »

One has sold for £55.00. I cannot see how this guy is gonna make a profit. Those Logic3 Arcade sticks, crap as they are, sell for around £12.00 each on the net plus shipping. That's £25.00 at least there. Plus the monitor and the "work" he has put into it. £55 is simply not worth it..... for both parties!

Spaced Ace · « **Reply #28 on:** December 14, 2007, 03:12:18 pm »

Maybe its a scam come to think about it... Seems kinda low priced now that you mentioned it....

IG-88 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2007, 03:41:41 pm »

Whats that site that has pics of all the crappy cabs made over the last few years, kinda opposite of the MAMEY site?

I seriously like the Trashcade better than that. It looks like a fricken' coffin... $:-\$

It makes chimpanzees smarter if they touch it.

After seeing that I had to punch myself in the nuts just to make me feel better.

skim36 · « **Reply #32 on:** December 16, 2007, 06:54:00 am »

Wow, ....lol...love the line "....so the kids don't muck it up..." Muck it up? What is that?!? Don't stare too long it will hurt your eyes...

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #33 on:** December 16, 2007, 10:54:12 am »

The folks over ------> THERE say "Muck" while the folks over <------ HERE say something very similar but with the letter "F" at the begging.

But if used in conjunction with this monolithic piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, then it really doesn't matter as the creator has already "M" or "F" + ucked it up already!
