How do you secure your MAME PC inside your cabinet?
HaRuMaN:

I placed my on a shelf, then ran a piece of mdf across the top. That baby aint going no where.
I would have used duct tape, but I was all out, I used it all holding my cabinet together...

Thanks, Ronin (and all you smartypants out there... :))
I secured my subwoofer in a similar fashion--stuck it in the bottom back right corner & screwed in a handful of small L-brackets & just trapped it in the corner, using a couple of layers of 1/8" foam double-sided tape to give it some shock absorption.
My other idea, beyond L-brackets, was some thin-gauge strap steel (like a water heater strap system) across it in 2 directions.
Thanks,

That's how I have my monitor supported ;) I have a 21" PC monitor, and it sticks out the back, so I just screwed a couple of shelf brackets on the inside to brace it...feels pretty solid and I don't think it's going anywhere. Probably not a permanent solution, but it'll do uuntil I come up with something better.
