Title: Wahoo, my cabinet arrived!!!
Post by: Apollo on May 31, 2003, 10:11:54 pm: Well after discovering MAME not so very long ago ( about 4 months ) and deciding like soooo many others that I need a cabinet, it arrived.
NZ$60 delivered ( approx US$35 ) including smoked bezel, street fighter style controls and coin mech ( good deal! ).
It will have 19" horizontally mounted monitor, another control panel, ArcadeVGA & IPAC. NO Trackballs or spinners for me ( don't need them ). It will have pull out keyboard. PC will run WinXP, I have bought 450MHz p3 with 256 RAM and 10 Gig HD. Motherboard has spare slot for ArcadeVGA card.
I will submit the completed project but it will take approx 4-6 months as funds are very low.
Here is a pic.

By the way I've just finished sanding and priming the formica sides. Now the cab is all white, looks kinda weird.

I uploaded the pics off a CD into my Yahoo briefcase then I copied and pasted the URL in the ? It doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Thanks.

You can use the attach picture functionality of the board if youdon't have a host that's working for you...

Also, I think we're all jealous that you got a cabinet DELIVERED for 35 bucks. I was lucky enough to get a cab for free (or parts of cabs)... but had to go pick it up and lug it around... so thftpt! =P

Sounds cool though! Good luck with your project.
