Sure it does.  Arcade related website is up there, isn't it?

Yeah, I think I looked for "Mame cabinet"

Like you could even miss this site if you tried....... It's HUGE.
If you build a frankenpanel, chances are I don't care for you as a person.

Someone mentioned it in the Arcade@Home message forums - which I found through Google :).  I haven't been to A@H for months....

Yeah, I've got this thing about massive amounts of popup ads, and sites that stop me from using pop up stoppers.

I was on AOL search engine looking for any kind of joystick on wood and somehow looked like the onces in the arcade.

SO,I start my search with "arcade joystick".
and I go to this site.

http://axelb.free.fr/caj/

Then he had a link to byoac...and I am here :D.
Totally totally confused at the moment !  ???
Didnt take much to build my own though..HOWEVER at the time there was like no projects at all..people were ONLY building joysticks and no cabinet..look now.
EVERYONE got cabinets :)
If I remember right..it was like 3 years ago ;D.

I didn't even know about MAME cabs when I found this place.  Actually I first found the ArcadeOS website and that is where I first read about converting your cab.  I had just gotten my Neogeo Cab and was teaching myself about JAMMA and the such (I had no clue about what really went on inside a cab).  And from there my addiction started.
