I just thought I should post pics of my cab. Its really nothing special, generic mame cab, but this forum helped me out so much in the building process I thought i should share it.
I kept the cost really low by building a keyboard hack (which I might add works surprisingly well) and finding an old empty cab in the dump by a local arcade. The most expensive part was painting it. I think all in all i spent less than 300$.
Well I think that's about all that's interesting about my cab. You can find more pics and some more info at the link below.

hmmm, well your marquee and color scheme make it kinda creepy, so how about Spookycade! what do you think? ::) j/k

If you just can't decide on a a name just call it justcade.

Those are excellent suggestions. However, I dont think i will actually name it. I'm not too into naming things. I just didn't know what to put in the title.

bluecade?
nonamecade?

I think some stylized japanese characters on the side would be cool--sort of go with your marquee them there. Have them translate to "warrior" or "honorable combat" or something along those lines. But then again I don't know how hard it would be to find the character equivalent for a word in another language--you could just paint any old character on the side and just tell people thats what it means :D

I thought I was the only one that felt that way. Seems like most people pick a name before they turn the first screw. Mine is called Power Drive by my friends, because that's the cab/marquee that got used. It doesn't have a real name though. :D
