IG-88:
Just curious, what was your reason for choosing the UAII kit? I've been thinking along these same lines and was wanting your opinion. Did you look at very many different types/vendors?

I've decided to name the bartop "Glory Days". I was first thinking of something like "MAME Machine" or "Retroblaster" etc., but I figured "Glory Days" would be a nice name as that is just what the arcade will represent; those glorious 80's and 90's.

I have ordered everything I need now and here are the specs so far:

Cabinet:

- UAII Bartop kit from www.mameroom.com with black t-molding ( http://www.mameroom.com/northcoastcustom/ProductDetail.asp?ID=UAIIBARTOP )

Monitor:

- Black PHILIPS 170S9FB/ 17" 1280x1024 5ms (170S9FB/00) (new)

PC:

- ASUS iG31 mATX S-775 motherboard (new)
- Intel C2D E7400 @ 2.8GHz 1066MHz FSB (new)
- Corsair XMS2 PC6400 DDR2 1024MB x 2 (new)
- Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B 160GB SATA-II 7200RPM (new)

I will also get a second hand Radeon HD3870 512MB and buy a new mATX Forton 270w PSU which will be more than enough power for the arcade.

Control panel:

- J-Stik red balltop (4/8-way microswitched) from Ultimarc.com
- Classic pushbuttons (microswitched) from Ultimarc.com
- Ultimarc solid white 2 1/4" trackball from Ultimarc.com
- Mini-PAC interface from Ultimarc.com

Marquee and CPO:





(Not made from scratch, but I purchased a nice image off iStockphoto.com and modified it heavily in Photoshop to make the CPO and marquee).

I've also customized the Maximus Arcade skin so it matches the rest of the cabinet:





Now I'm still waiting for the cabinet to arrive, but I will start the building as soon as I get it. I'll keep you all updated on the process! :)
