theres no way thats home made, looks too professional

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.

bkenobi · « **Reply #4 on:** October 28, 2009, 01:59:41 pm »

1000's of freeware games perhaps?

I might have to go up to Napa to go to this guy's garage sale on the 31st and see this beast first hand!!!! LOL...

Dangggggg...man...That was the same plans I was going to use...back to the drawing board!!!

What a build

speedklz · « **Reply #8 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:56:55 pm »

that monitor is wayyyy to high. like crick in the neck

TOK · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:57:45 pm »

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.

I'm speechless...

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?

Maybe the guy is 7 feet tall, with 4 foot arms?

tears down my face as I stare into a work of art.

Is he really trying to get 300 for that thing

DJ_Izumi · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2009, 08:39:54 pm »

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?

drventure · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:29:00 pm »

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

And succeeding masterfully, I might add

+1.5, the giraffe can't reach the buttons still, they're TOO HIGH!

Sledgehammer · « **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2009, 01:39:26 pm »

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!

It looks like he started building a computer desk, and when it was halfway done, thought to self- "I'd much rather have a Mame cab....."

Gatsu · « **Reply #25 on:** October 30, 2009, 10:47:29 pm »

Please...whoever is close to the thing....go get your picture taken with it and post it up.

that would just be epic.

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.
