If I am seeing it correctly, this thing has surround sound!  But, it looks like both surround speakers are on the right side.  Odd (as if the rest of it weren't strange enough).

I didn't think you could legally sell a game with "1000s of games", unless there's an alternative to MAME.
WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 322, Oakview, CA 93022. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

That dude is on KLOV. He actually confessed to it before anyone found it. I cannot comprehend selling the whole thing vs. just stripping the parts and selling to avoid mockery.  :lol

Cut some o the top off and put a front on the underside, bezel and paint it, and it wouldn't look bad.

So basically completely turn it into a new cab and it wouldn't look bad?  :D

Who comes up with these ergonomics?

Actually, no, here's my question instead; Anyone could easily google image search up hundreds of different arcade cabs, choose the one to their liking, and then use that cab as reference for making their own.  WHY DON'T THEY DO THAT?

Aw, come on guys, he's obviously going for that wal-mart-ikea aesthetic.

And succeeding masterfully, I might add  ;)

Guys, I feel bad....I found out this cab actually belongs to MMA fighter Hong Man Choi (pictured on the right).  :(

Now I understand why the monitor is where it is!

And yet, just running MAME on your computer desk with a gamepad would have been MUCH more comfortable.

Easier perhaps than starting over. But, of course it's ridiculous how some people think the wood they bought and the time they put in will equal hundreds of dollars.
