Thanks.

That'd be pretty cool if he wern't bolting everything and the kitchen sink to that CP. I'm sorta afraid to find out how it plays Crazy Taxi. D:

You could contact the seller of this particular system and ask him if he's got plans.
He posted in this forum as well;

Thanks. But I was mostly looking to buy it from the likes of DreamArcades or North Coast Customs, who already have all the tools/materials needed to fabricate such panels.
They already make more eloborate cabinets, don't see why they couldn't make one like this. I think the demand would be there for a smaller, newer-style MAME cabinet.

The plans are based off TAZ's MAME cabinet which can be found here:

Doubt you will find a premade kit for this since this is a custom design but maybe in the future someone will offer something similar. Good luck.

Yeah they are based off taz's kit. I PM red. Sorry I don't check the forum that much, but if you need anything just let me know. The design is pretty easy. Here is what I would have done differently:
Stayed away from diamond plate for the base. (too costly)
Stayed away from topgun II (i run xp 64 and I had to write my own drivers for the system, they work good in mame, especially for 1 player, but two players are iffy at times in PC games like house of dead 2 and sometimes in mame because of the driver interference)
got a bigger harddrive (500gb filled up too fast)
got a bigger monitor (26" seems small when you can easily fit 28" on the cab for only a couple hundred more)
put more fans in it (its slim and energy efficient, but there is no logical place for the ps unless you ad more fans.)
crazy taxi is fun but I wish I had a wheel.

LOL you must be referring to the guns? that is the only thing on the CP besides the joys, buttons, and trackball. you can easily remove the guns and use the gun holders as drink holders if you wish.
