Why wouldn't you want to enter?  EVen if it's against your principles of BYOAC, darn it, just sell it after and it then at least helps to finance your dream cab project.

That would make it illegal , yes?  Perhaps it is running something other than MAME?

I actually won one of these last month and it's been sitting in my room for over a week now. I wanted to build my own cab as a summer project but I took a summer class instead so winning this was perfect. Most of the games from Taito, Atari 2600, Namco 25th anni, and Activision are just installed from retail a PC collection cd so it also came with the CD. As for the Midway games they are loaded with MAME which I think was modified, I am not sure since I had a bad crash that wiped everything.

The cabinet is made by GameCabinets Inc http://www.gamecabinetsinc.com/arcadehits.shtml

It's actually a nice cab but like Eric said, you can build a much better looking one, but hey it's free (gotta pay for taxes).. still sorta free. :) And if you are wondering if I drank any Dew for this, no I didn't, I just used free AMP codes, I perfer Coke anyways.

It crashed the first day because of the shotty MSI live update program, I was trying to grab a updated firmware for the motherboard seeing how there is no manual way to download it from their site but from a user ftp site.
