Starting a new project
« on: April 03, 2010, 09:15:59 pm »
I've been reading a lot and lurking on people who have built MAME cabinets. I've been interested. The computer part (building it/setting it up) isn't hte problem. The problem  I am going to be having is with the wiring since I am not all that familiar. I have a Time Pilot cab that I am going to be using it was free. The monitor works great but I also have a 25 inch tv I can use as well. I have an older Pentium 4 PC and an old Dual Core PC sitting around. Just wondering where to start :X :(.....

Anyone have an helpful hints/recommendations let me know!

Welcome and good luck buddy! Its quite a journey. I've been building my first bartop off and on for about 9 months now. Hard with work, family, and life in general. Get ready to have the most fun and frustrating experience!
