Hi All, I always like to come here to post my newest projects. I had been wanting to build this machine for some time and just did not have the time. It has been a labor of love. I hope you all like it. You can see more of it including videos @ http://www.customarcades.com/morph.htm

Here it is with the monitor raised:

very cool...i like the lift up monitor. the artwork is a little busy for my taste, but other than that, it is pretty cool

Super slick! I was't expecting the tilt to be motorized.

Looks like this takes care of a good portion of the ergonomics issues many tend to have with prolonged play and cocktails (for the horizontal games, at least).

Love the design of this cabinet! Very cool pseudo-cocktail idea here. Great job!

Though my only comments are that the artwork is a bit too busy and "clip-arty" for me...but I'm a nit-picky artist...what do I know.

The cabinet reminds me of those bubble hockey games. Looks awesome though.

What an original and versatile design!

Have you played Atari Football on it? I've not seen a Mame cabinet (until yours) that looked like you could play it. Very nicely done.

I love the curves on your pedestal as well. Nice attention to detail.

$10K,,,,jeeesh, how many miles to the gallon does it get?

I like it alot, but i agree with the "clip-arty" comment...nice work, hope you sell 1 million of them!

Very nice.
I agree that the art work is a little clip arty but thats a great design

The viewable angle on that monitor is very nice.

Also, congrats on a girlfriend that likes arcade games. Looks like a keeper.

What do you have the four top highlighted buttons do? Are they just for MAME functions like select, pause, esc, etc?

leapinlew · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2011, 02:51:04 pm »

Looks good. Needs more girlfriend.

"Don't do anything weird"

I think we've all heard that before.

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone noticed that... She's knows me all too well.

There are actually 8 buttons on the top of the dual player side and they are Esc, Enter, P, Tab, Player 1 and 2 start and Player 1 and 2 coins. On the single player sides, there are 3 buttons for P1/P2 start/coins and pause is on either end as well.
