Rob's new MAME cabinet : UPDATED : Completed pics.
Portnoy:
Thanks for the info Rob. That was exactly my concern. I have all weekend to get some work done on my cab ( a rarity for me ) and I am with out a slot cutter but with pocket screw device. I guess I could always disassemble the sides once the cutter gets here.

Once I realized that the slot cutter was hitting the screws, I just would go ahead a bit, back out a row of screws, rout the slot, then redrive the screws back in and continue. Only took an extra few minutes to do it this way and I didn't have to disassemble the cabinet to do it. Just be very careful to hold the router still and wait for the bit to stop before removing it from the slot...otherwise you may widen the slot at that point. Slow and steady and you'll have no problems.

Well, this thing is finally done, so I have some pics to share:
First off, thanks to Randy at GroovyGameGear for his great service. All 3 of my orders arrived at least a day earlier than I would have hoped, and he is very responsive and helpful for support through email. :applaud:
Also, thanks to Pongo for the great button labels. They really give the admin buttons a nice finished look.
And thanks Scott at MameMarquees for the quick shipping and great quality of the marquee.
First the control panel. Found this image at deviantArt.com. I like the red/blue split, which looks good with the buttons lit to match.
And the underbelly:
2 LEDWiz's
1 KeyWiz Max 1.5
Electric Ice trackball
TT2 spinner
Control panel installed:
Close up showing the marquee. It really pops when lit up and ties everything together nicely.
With the control panel hood open:
Here is my MaLa layout. Same image from the CP overlay. Pretty basic, but looks nice with the gamelist scrolling around the curved side of the planet. Also the video snapshots from emumovies are great. I love getting the gameplay clip as I scroll through the games.
And the full cabinet. I got the nice matching chrome/black barstools at Barstoolsandchairs.com. (Take a guess what they sell..) Great quality and low price. He has an ebay store with prices lower than you see on his website. Highly recommended.
And here we are with the lights off. This is when all that GGG bling starts to look so worthwhile.
All done, so now it's time to go play!
