Well fine then, maybe I just will...
Fullsize cabs Magneto by edekoning
A very well built and refined cab. Nothing overall incredibly fancy and earth shatteringly crazy with the design, but that's the point. This cab is a culmination of a ton of the BYOAC "best practices". From the use of the vinyl wrap, to the tinted glass, the power plug, a CP that doesn't over do it, colour/theme, this checks all the boxes for me and it's what you'd expect to see when your buddy says: "I built an arcade! you should come see it". It's a modern realization that pays homage to the classic standards. All this and it gets away with mirrored artwork on one side!
Bartop R-Kaid-Revelation By quizz_kid
This one goes without saying. Just every part of this build was next level and outside the box. Yes, it's one thing that he has access to a brilliant shop, but HE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!! The problem solving, the outcome of the planning that so closely resembles the finished product. All around for many reasons I nominate this build.
Micro/Non-Standard Micro Galaga DS By Louis Tully
Using a DS to make a micro version of a classic? Impossible. Making it have a realistic looking coin door and buttons? Impossible. Building a realistic joystick from a bit of body jewelry? Impossible. Not knowing there was a sticker maker ALREADY IN THE HOUSE?!?! ...improbable, (ok, sometimes our family members just buy random sh*t, and we're too deep in our own world to notice. It's a fact). All these impossible things were done and done well by this build. Now he just has to make sure someone doesn't mistake this sweet build for an oversized black jelly bean and choke on the damn thing.
Forum Contributor. PL1, Scott.
Because by now I would have: electrocuted myself (thrice), pulled out my hair (twice), and wasted more money on my build then I already have. I just spent the last hour going through my build thread. Scott has played a principal role in getting me where I'm at today. Granted there have been a couple other extremely helpful members that have made amazing contributions to my build (Neph, I'm looking at you). But when I look at how much time Scott must spend reading every thread created here and then being helpful on them all I can't help but think to nominate him.
...oh and it's late and I have a meeting in the morning so edit your own damn spelling as you read. ;D ;D ("Colour" is spelt with a "u").

....so many cabs that I was hoping would be finished this year so I could nominate them....but they weren't. :lol
Fullsize cabs - Not sure if cabarets belong here or under small cabs, but RockyRocket's Gran Trak 2010 - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133163.0.html
For it's fit, finish, and non-conventional things that just look right. A polished coin door with racing stripes...who does that?
Hardware - Aganyte's Gun2Naomi - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,132218.0.html
BYO IR Gun for use with Sega Naomi or PC.
His ability to interface with original arcade equipment blows my mind.
Software - MAWLER by ids - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,136193.0.html
MAWS was a fantastic resource and was sorely missed when taken down. No rom information aggregator after that has come close to the functionality and flexibility of MAWS. That is until ids recreated it in java, then proceeded to exceed the functionality of the original. This app makes it possible to quickly create a list or find information based on any metadata.
Nephasth:
I guess nobody is into seconding any of the nominations? :dunno
I'd like to second this one:

My guess is that this is in reference to your JAMMA Supergun. :dunno
