I'm still waiting to see a cab CP actually DONE in marble (or granite).

Now THAT could be nice!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I you DO use it, don't go overboard. When used in small amounts, like that cocktail, it can look okay, but there's a very fine line between subtle and stupid.

Thanks for the advice.  I know what you mean.

Wost case scenario, I'll tear it all off and cough up the money for some better art.  It's just that I couldn't find any art that I liked.
