New MAME Cab Started for a Friend

(1/4) > >>

johnmartin:
Well, I still have not finished my own cab and I am already starting on another.  I got a piano from a friend at work and in payment I am building him a MAME cab.  I am only providing the cabinet; he is providing all the components.

It is similar to my own cab bu a bit different.  It is amazing what you learn from building your first that makes the second that much easier.  Not a lot of progress yet but getting there. He is bringing by the 27" TV we are going to use in a bit and once I get it decased I can get the mounting arranged and the TV installed.  Plan to get the computer from him today as well and hopefully get it somewhat set up tonight.

I started yesterday after lunch and it looks like this right now.






I'll keep the pictures coming as I progress.

I wish I could do that

jeef:
wow, that came together quick!
Will be interested to see how you mount the TV and marquee

johnmartin:
Upi'd be surprised how fast you can work when no one is home LOL  I got the 27" TV installed today.  Took a bit of shoehorning to get it to fit in a 24" wide cab but it fit, albeit just barely.  Big SOB I'll tell you. Try installing it without anyones help :o







I still need to go into the back and mount the board for the TV on the sidewall and make a shelf for the computer components to sit on.

Last bit of work on it for this week. Heading to Ohio on vacation Tuesday.  I'll be giving my buddy a list of things to buy while I am gone and hopefully he will have stuff in by the time I get back.

Check out the size of that screen - the radiation from that monster is going to leave a silhouette of the player burned onto the opposite wall!!
