Need a Theme for my MAME box!
dethfactor:
Thanks to everyone for the advice on my cab, it's coming along swimmingly.
It's about 1/2 way there and is functional. (for the most part)
I'm now sifting through ideas trying to decide what to brand my cab to no avail.
I was going to call it the "Norriscade" and was about to have a friend doctor up art of chuck norris
fighting 300 commandos in a jungle or something but I think the internet meme is now somewhat grating.
So if anyone can make a suggestion, you'd have my everlasting thanks and open invite to come down to Chicago and play it.
Here's what I have in it / want to do with it.
It was originally a Street Fighter Championship edition later refitted to X-Men.
Since then it's been gutted/stripped and is in the process of being painted all black.
We're going to mount a few inches of checkerplate on the front/sides of it to clean up the rough bottom on it.
I have 2 ultimarc mag-stick pluses as well as 14 GG Electric Ice pushbuttons (White) all of which will be fitted with RGB leds.
The CP is steel with a waterfall like bend from the face of it and I'm having a friend cut and weld a new portion
on top of it to fit in an GG Electric Ice-T Trackball between the two players.
I picked up a new Betson Imperial 27" for the cab (it fits!) and am using the splitter on my GC to mount leave
the ability to hook up an external tv/monitor for extra players/competition view etc.
Lastly, I decided to house an Xbox 360 wireless adapter in the cab so that a 3rd/4th can be added wirelessly on the fly.
To help here's a quick panel mock up
and a photos of it currently:
This is just patched and primed.
Thanks a ton!

Dynamo Z-back cab, nice.
I dont like the trackball idea at all, looks bad and Im sure it'll just get in the way. As for themes, what colors do you like? What games do you play the most? Mine was Mortal Kabinet cause Im a huge mortal kombat mark.
go for a pun!
FrizzleFried:
I have to agree that the trackball idea as indicated looks ridiculous...in a bad sort of way. You'd be MUCH better off removing it or expanding the front of the CP to make it a rectangle.

Themes...
How about Goth Circus Clowns Gone Gay?

How about Suck it Trebek?
