Wahoo, my cabinet arrived!!!
« on: May 31, 2003, 10:11:54 pm »
Well after discovering MAME not so very long ago ( about 4 months ) and deciding like soooo many others that I need a cabinet, it arrived.
NZ$60 delivered ( approx US$35 ) including smoked bezel, street fighter style controls and coin mech ( good deal! ).
It will have 19" horizontally mounted monitor, another control panel, ArcadeVGA & IPAC. NO Trackballs or spinners for me ( don't need them ). It will have pull out keyboard. PC will run WinXP, I have bought 450MHz p3 with 256 RAM and 10 Gig HD. Motherboard has spare slot for ArcadeVGA card.
I will submit the completed project but it will take approx 4-6 months as funds are very low.
Here is a pic.

I wonder if that's why I've had so many views and only 1 reply. Does anyone else have problems seeing the pic? And does anyone have any suggestions?

By the way I've just finished sanding and priming the formica sides. Now the cab is all white, looks kinda weird.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone give me advice about displaying my cab? I really want everyone to see it. I uploaded the pics off a CD into my Yahoo briefcase then I copied and pasted the URL in the ? It doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Thanks.

You can use the attach picture functionality of the board if youdon't have a host that's working for you...

Also, I think we're all jealous that you got a cabinet DELIVERED for 35 bucks.  I was lucky enough to get a cab for free (or parts of cabs)... but had to go pick it up and lug it around... so thftpt!   =P

Sounds cool though! Good luck with your project.
