Hey guys.  I was just looking for some different ideas on what you've done with your cabinets.  Right now, my cabinet plays games and I have arcade jukebox loaded.  What else have you done/can be done?  I'm just looking for the "Oh, that's cool" factor.  Anybody got any unique things they've done to their cabs?

Mine currently has "smells like cedar action".    The power supply for my would-be MAME pc had a fan go out so it's out of commission.   :'(

But, I saw a cool discussion about making it have a nice unified startup/shutdown using relays...   how about using 12V relays plugged into your PC's internal power plugs to turn on/off the lights in the case?  You can also add a few logic chips and some 5V relays to make the lights and screen delay turning on until the PC is booted and MAME is loaded.


Personally, I'd add a coffee maker to the side, so you never have to stop playing to sleep!!!!!   ;D

I have wired (using a relay) a strobe to trigger when selected songs are played. Though I'm using custom written jukebox software to do this.

I have a kit to build a light controller (but cant be assed building it), and have been considering building a smoke machine into the cab.

Over the top... absolutely, but what the hell.  ;D
