Is there a market for that here?

Of course.  There are people who built a cabinet because what currently is out there commercially was too expensive for them.
Also people will modify any cabinet.

APFelon:
Perhaps, but I don't think that he will find as much success selling cabs here as he would if he pitched the idea to John. Q Public who knows nothing about MAME cabinets and emulation. It'd be interesting to see the results of his study.

My advice: Target the 25-45 year old market for a study group / potential sales group.

HE'S NOT SELLING ANYTHING!
Obviously the webpage is part of his project.

That's how he's presenting himself, but that doesn't mean those are the actual facts. Maybe this is market research for his business plan rather than a "class project". Notice his list of games are all legally available StarRoms games? If this is fake for a class project, then why bother listing only "legal" ROMs?

Then again, why does the cab look like Zaxxon?
 ;D

Ok, if so, what's wrong with it :)  *IF* he is planning on selling something to this community, good job for doing market research first.  He might realize this community is already flooded with simular products.
