This has to be one of the ugliest out there.
The link is to an auction site here in NZ similar to ebay.
Take a look at this and make sure you read the description carefully.

"Professionally made customwood cabinet, on casters, overall dimensions 610w x 1810h x 790d (mm)"
OMG, Professionally made? What profession?
-
You ain't a-kiddin'.....looks more like an outhouse than anything resembling a gaming machine.
-
Maybe that is professional in New Zealand.... :dunno
Makes me feel like a woodworking genius though so that's nice.
-
Maybe being upside down on the bottom of the world since birth has contributed to this?
-
Sad thing is, the curved treatment could have been taken advantage of in some way that made it at least somewhat acceptable.
-
Shame that home-made cabs (however "professionaly" made) are ruled out of the Ugliest Cab contest (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55512.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55512.0)) else this would be a great contender.
"I've never seen one like it before. "........guess why..... :D
In all honesty: I think the uglyness comes mostly from the wayyyyy to small screen hole (like he says himself) and the wrong front color. If it would be black that would already improve things. Then fit it with a real BYOAC CP and then it's actualy not that bad at all.
I kinda like the curve idea, but since it's bending backwards, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to play ?
-
Interesting. I swear I saw a jukebox posted with a similar shape (smaller, though) and I think it was also from somewhere down under. Perhaps that's where the inspiration came from?

He is probably getting excited about all the hits on his page too! LOL

Definitely belongs on this site -

Edit: After posting this link, I started to have second thoughts. As a member of this community, I’m not sure I should be posting criticisms (even though they’re not mine) of other’s mame projects. But the thing is, this guys comments are really funny.

Don't feel guilty. That link has been posted many times before, usually when a thread on hideous cabs comes up. A heated debate ensues and everyone walks away with a harsh opinion of either shelf paper or people with harsh opinions of shelf paper.

Makes me think twice about posting pics of my cab.......
-
I feel like buying it, so I can kick the ugly out of it

I think you might wear your foot out first :laugh2:

As an arcade machine it is ugly as sin, however could be turned into a decent "information / internet kiosk" which is probably its initial incarnation.
Just needs ........
- Larger screen
- Replace the cp with a keyboard and trackball
- Replace the front colour with something brighter like a red or blue
- Add isp's business logo to the lower section
