Hey There All!!!
MY OFFICAL ANOUCEMENT STATING MY PROJECT
(Its already been started though)
A quick little Background story
My boss from work got a Tekken 3 cab from a friend that diden't want it anymore.
Took it home for his kids to play with, eventually the kids pulled a wire and my boss diden't know how to fix it and gave it to me. After some research come to find out it was originally a Mortal Kombat cab that the board got swapped out to Tekken 3.
Took it home and striped it and in the process of turning it to a MAME CAB!!
Quick thanks to urbecrisch for pointing me to http://www.arcadecup.com (http://www.arcadecup.com) to get my monitor board re-caped (because i don't have the talent for that!)
Ive posted a BUNCH of pictures http://pincky.gotdns.com/Pictures/My%20Arcade%20Pictures/ (http://pincky.gotdns.com/Pictures/My%20Arcade%20Pictures/) of my progress.
I also shot some video of what it looks like as of March, 10 2008 Link http://pincky.gotdns.com/Video/ (http://pincky.gotdns.com/Video/)

Is there any way you could post the pics on something like googles, picasa?

It's a pain navigating back and forth between pics especially when you don't have a preview pic.
