Alright, so i first saw these MAME cabinets early last year and since then i've been wanting to build one of my own, but i've always been a bit low on money. Now i'll be able to get a job soon (Yay money :cheers:), so hopefully i'll be able to save up my money from there to get the materials for a cabinet. And that's where i need some help. Before i actually buy everything, i need to know if i HAVE everything in mind that i'll need. I believe i have all the actual Control panel parts, though. Anyway, this is what's on my list so far:
HAPP Horizontal Pushbuttons (Red and Black)
Player 1 and 2 Pushbuttons
HAPP Competition Joysticks (1 Red and 1 Black)
KeyWiz40-ST
T-Molding
All the above are from groovygamegear
19 in. LCD Monitor From Frys
EMS Topgun II (2 From Play-Asia)
3/4 MDF From Lowes
Am I missing anything in the CP area? Should I use something other than a KeyWiz? I don't really plan on using a trackball or spinner. Also, if anyone could help me out with computer specs, I plan on using the cabinet with MAME, along with other old console emulators and some PC games (At most I want to try to get Touhou and SFIV running).
Right, one more thing. What drillbits should i get to make the right size holes for the buttons and joysticks? Sorry if i could find some of this elsewhere i'm realy tired lol.
