It looks like it must be some sort of MAME, but I don't know the commercial cabs well enough to say which one. If this hobby gets too popular I may have to quite and find something else.

Are you saying you're too cool for school?

Ha ha! No, I'm too much of a nerd to go with the crowd. I don't enjoy doing the same thing that everybody else is doing. What's the fun in that?

clanggedin:
They showed the cabinet again last night and one of the guys was playing Commando. Still have no idea who built the cab.

hulkster:
seems to me that there have been a lot more sightings of mame cabs recently....maybe im just paranoid, but i keep thinking that somebody (RIAA-ish except for mame stuff) will come along and find places where roms are distributed or whatever...and start filing lawsuits left and right.  am i worried over nothing??

No, you're not worried over nothing. As markets open up for retro games (and look how big it has gotten already) the more $$ at stake the more alert companies will become over infringing materials. Best thing to do is grab what you can now. Never assume your favorite site will still be around in the future.

If and when it becomes an issue, the burners out there are really the only ones likely to get in "trouble" and even then it would probably just require them to stop burning.  I doubt it is worth anyone's time or money to go after their customers and chances are they don't even keep track of who they are...  this is all IMO, of course...
