Know where I can find this MAME cab?

[Bill_S]

I'm getting stuff around to build a MAME cab for a friend.
He saw this on and really liked it.
Anyone know what it is, or if plans for it are out there?
He basically wants to build this one.

I don't know if he'll sells the plans for his cabinets.
You can find it here http://www.custom-arcade.com/

Thanks!
I'll send him an e-mail and see.

He was a no-go to sell me the plans.
bummer.

That's ok, I'm sure you can design your own that'd be just as good!

An arcade cabinet is just a very stylized box, after all =P

that cab looks like the Ultimate Arcade II

From the custom arcade website:
78" High x 58" Deep x 48" Wide (with control panel) 32" Wide (w/out control panel)

It does look a lot like the UAII! It has a one piece construction though... if you want that look... UAII might be for you.

With those basic dimemsions and the many pics on site you can probably rough out a set of plans fairly easily.  Take a full frontal, a side view and apply the measurements to make your own.

This is true.  Besides, you don't want to look exactly like someone else, do you?  

P.S. It does not look like the UAII, you knuckleheads.  Unless you mean to say "The UAII looks like a Neo-Geo MVS cabiinet", in which case you'd be right.

I said it looked like UAII because he could get those plans. If he e-mails the Neo-Geo folks, do you think they will give him them or evem respond? Just wanted to explain my reasoning.

Thanks guys.  I was thinking the same thing on just make a similar cab based on his dimensions and photos.  I think I could probably make a pretty close copy based on all the info at his web site along with a little time on AutoCAD.  It wouldn't end up being exactly the same even if I had the plans (my cab is a take from the LuSid design, but not an exact copy by any means).  
I didn't mention it in my post above because I was afraid the thread would degenerate into people screaming about copyrights, etc.

I did show my friend the UAII cabs and said we could buy those plans.  He liked the one piece look from this custom-arcade cab better, though.

Looks like I'll start messing with the profiles in CAD.  
I hope this ACAD project doesn't end up 1/2 done like the cabaret I started a couple months ago based on the Robotron mini (modeled from rough dim's and pics only there, too).  I ended up getting a Pole Position with no monitor to play with for now.  Maybe I'll finish the cabaret next year

Thanks for the suggestions!

Regarding the UAII cabinet with it's "2 piece" design... I was wondering if this was based on a real arcade machine?
I don't remember ever seeing an arcade cabinet with the top section as a separate piece like the UAII.
Has anyone seen a picture of something like this (other than the UAII machines)?

Check this thread there is an arcade cabinet picture of a two piece real cabinet.

Hey Guys!

Although I purchased the Dynamo Showcase Cabinet (39" CRT), I did the FULL CP and internals all by myself (sounds like boasting but no one else gets this whole thing!!!) Not just a hobby!

Let me know your thoughts I came up with the layout on my own and it wasn't until much later that I realized that it kind of resembles a UA CP..
- waiting to hook up 2 superoffroad steering wheels and analoge pedals (not sure how to do the pedals though)

Next, onto a VMJB wall mount! (this will be modeled after the mameroom unit - his is very cool!)


Talk soon,
