A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
;D
Yeah, the guts will all have to be removed, same with that tube sticking out the top on the buzzsaw (it's the one on the right).
And that giant doofus d-handle at the back of the other one will go as well. They won't be shooting anything but IR when I'm done. :)
The top I was a little unsure of as well. But I think with a good paintjob and a few details, it'll work fine. I'd really not wanted to have to exactly alike. That didn't quite seem to fit the overall theme to me. These two are big enough to provide a good amount of interior space to work with, but not so big as to be unwieldy. I'm looking forward to these conversions!

Umm, NO! Can't you put a steam unit in there? You want 'steampunk', so what's better than a tube belching actual steam?!
:soapbox:

Like the buzzsaw, don't care for the other, a retro-futuristic crossbow would rule

That'd be great, but all the steam units I've found
a) require a pretty hefty amount of current (they actually heat up the steam fluid to generate steam)
b) have a fluid reservoir that I suspect would leak or spill all over the place if put in something like this.
But I love the idea! Maybe I will keep the tube and just fix it up like a smokestack or steam pipe or something.
If anyone's got any ideas on steam generators that might work.....
@BadMouth... Yeah, I'm not near as sold on the other as I am on the buzzsaw. But I still like the idea of two different looking guns.
I think I'll end up converting the buzzsaw first, and depending on how it turns out and how much space I end up needing internally, I might try converting a Maverick instead.
Maybe something like this

i like the buzzsaw, but i vote for maverick over the other one. the maverick is pretty awesome looking...way more so than that other one.
