A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
Well, I'd be interested in it. And some of the techniques you use would be applicable to a mame cab, I'd guess.

I'm currently turning an old 1930s standing radio (it was gutted when I bought it - I didn't kill it, honest!) into a hidden media centre/mame machine. I've been stymied by what to do with the monitor. Right now I'm running an HDMI cable to our projector, but that's not wholly convenient. Having the monitor in a picture frame on top would be a good option. $220 is a little steep for a touch screen, but I can probably make do with a non-touch option.

I'm doing something very similar. My brother bought one like this for parts and gave me the empty cabinet. It's in pretty rough shape right now but hopefully I'll be able to restore the finish on the cabinet.

That could be an fantastic cabinet/jukebox/something.
I love that style of radio/furniture.
Benevolance:
That is very similar to the one I am using!
I plan to add some discrete external USB jacks to the radio shell, to plug in a SNES usb hack. It will make playing my Nintendo and Super Nintendo games more fun. I enjoy playing them on the arcade but...I miss the original controls.

Very nice! I wish mine was in that kind of shape. I don't have any pics of mine. The one above I pulled from the net. Mine is missing some veneer in spots and the original finish is worn and peeling on most of the cabinet. Mine will be just a jukebox. I'm keeping my eye out for a monitor small enough to fit on the window where the dial used to be. The glass dial was the part my brother bought it for so it's missing. I think it will work well if I can find one to fit in there.
