Cabinet choice for 1st MAME conversion?
Paul Olson:
Definitely the Blitz cab. As mentioned, the CP is a great size. It is also only held on to the cab with three bolts, so it easy to remove. You can put any type of cp you want on there if you want to build a custom one. Or you can just build a new top piece for it and be up and running quickly.
I have had one of these for 7 years now, and I think it is a perfect cab to use. I can't think of any cab I would trade it for. I am not sure what monitor Blitz used, but if you can get it with a 25" std res, or maybe a tri res for cheap, grab it.
Malenko:
should be held on with 4 bolts, 2 vertical & 2 horiztonal.
I MAMEd my KI2 once the guts commited suicide, other then how heavy the cab is, I love it you c an see pix in the link in my sig

NFL Blitz is the cab I have that I'm working on converting at the moment.
What others have said, it has a perfect control panel (with a ledge, so you can use the existing one or mount a new one easily), as well as lots of room to work with inside of it. I couldn't imagine a better cab for a MAME conversion.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys it's been great to get some personal experiences to help with the picking!

I would target one of those Atari Digdug/Centipede/Kangaroo cabinets - they are perfect to MAME. :cheers:
