I know you guys are tired of the -cade type names, but i just wanted something fairly simple here for my first machine.

Finally, some stools i made to go along with the game, and a shot of the inside.

Nice! Looks really cool lit up. Dynamo is a generic cab maker, so your machine could have been anything. You can still buy Dynamo cabs with a blank control panel to make whatever machine you want out of them.

Do you primarily play fighters or Pac Man games? I was surprised to see a Pac Man theme with a horizontal monitor!  ;D

Yeah, you know, i should've thought things out a little more, this being my first MAME cab and all....i put it horizontal because i have more games on it than just pacman...but i should have just made it a 3 button layout.  I thought i'd be playing StreetFighter II and Mortal Kombat alot more than i do.  I do just seem to end up playing 80's games most of the time which only require 2 buttons.  I just picked the pacman theme because i love pacman and i was at a loss for what other type of theme i should use for my machine.  Thanks for the kind words.

Looking good! I think it came out quite well. I like the themed stools too.

It's tough to commit to vertical or horizontal. I love many vertical shoot 'em ups and Donkey Kong so I'd love to have a vertical cab, but my favorite games are all horizontal Williams. I also felt horizontal was the better compromise for me.
I don't want to be bothered with a rotating monitor and setting up all the different games, so a second cab is the only solution.  ;)
