I have built a MAME cab from scratch, restored a junked tempest cab into a Mat Mania, and built a 4 player control panel from scratch.
My question is, what next?
Should I build a cocktail cab?
Should I go and get another junked cab from this weird, creepy place called "pinball warehouse"?
If I go to the pinball warehouse, what should I look for?
They have very little on display, but they say they have tons of machines buried somewhere.
Any input?

build a jukebox? rewire your home? lol its all good my man. We love pics if you start a new project ;D

Bah! All boring..its all been done already. I'd like to see something different. Here is my dumb idea: Humancade
Make cab shaped like a person. The monitor is the head, cab would be holding the control panel with its "arms/hands", coin door(s) in the legs, etc, etc
In case you are wondering, yes I am an idiot ::)

Oh, i forgot to mention, I already built a jukebox from scratch too!!
I'v already done plenty of rewireing in my and other people's houses.
I guess I'll go with the cocktail, but should I make it from scratch or get a junked one?
Oh, and what would be a decent price for a used arcade monitor?
I got a 19" for free from that creepy store, but what should I offer for a 27"?

Awsome... How about building a piece onto your house to show your projects. Seriesously though, do you know anyone who might want a cab built, perhaps that could be your next project. Maybe a Jukebox; music, games and beers, you can't go wrong there.
Whatever you decide, have fun and keep busy.
