New bartop cabinet kit!
« on: May 13, 2008, 02:42:04 pm »
For those bartop cabinet enthusiasts, www.mameroom.com has just released a new bartop kit designed specifically for LCD monitors.

It's more compact that the original version...plus it has cutouts for jukebox controls right on the front (Optional).

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Has anyone built a bartop out of one of these new Mameroom kits? I'd like to know how it turned out. I'm concerned about space for the computer (obviously mounted directly) and speakers.

How much are they?

I hope you are selling them under $300.

Otherwise good luck.

199 from the website.  Not bad at all.

Like it, and the price is right. Doubt many will go with that choice of jukebox buttons on a bar-top though as it's a little cluttered.

Agreed.

Some thought needs to go into the footprint also.  Why does it have to be so deep, if a LCD is going to be in it?

Price is very competitive, and should be advertised especially for new builders on this site.  :applaud:

Who are the International vendors for Mameroom?

The reason is, he is competing with dream authentics, if he isn't making their cabs allready. :)
