Specifically build-pics?   Here at BYOAC, we like to see construction pictures to help give ideas to each other on how to tackle certain things. It's kinda shallow to just drop in and say "look at my cool finished project" without showing how you got there.

Like my math teachers used to say "show the work!".

I love it, I have wanted to do something in honor of Fix it Felix Jr. and maybe this would be the perfect thing.  Any plans? ;D

See, this I like. Actual SNES inside the cab, think I found a future use for my old SNES and NES I have shoved in the closet.  :cheers:

Good work!

thanks
as far as plans i just got the original dimensions and cut them in half and then just modified it so it looked right
im going to make more of these it take less then 1 sheet of mdf the total cost was around 100 buck (art plexi paint ect..)  i had alot of the electronic components from my other work on arcades and computers.
So Many ideas
-Mini Neo Geo out of Dreamcast
-Mini Mortal kombat out of sega genesis
-and i have two Vectrex systems i would love to do mini Asteroids Deluxe (Mine-storm Deluxe)  with the mirrored glass  and black-light the hole works
think all the vectrex games that do exist as real arcade machine's and make 1/2 scale versions

i started with mame cabs but all the games seem to cheapen the hole thing, a themed cab with the right game for the theme seems best.

That is awsome and I agree "the right games for the right theme" I have some future plans in mind with the same mindset.
