ok let's all tell a story on how we found BYOAC.

I found MAME, and was very excited.
Don't remember if it was via google or a friend, it was maybe 4 years ago.

From browsing the links in mame.net wound up in BYOAC and stayed ever since.

After a year or so a.b.(after finding byoac and mame) I started reading these. It happened when an article in the main page transported me to this new universe.

More than a year ago I found a place here in Dallas, that had cabinets for sale. Bought a broken one, but since that progress has been painfully slow due to undecisiveness, overplanning, lack of knowledge / skills and budget.

Now I have told about mame and byoac to many many more and less enthusiastic people.

It would be nice to see forums by city to be able to meet people to easily get help on the spot and also easily buy/sell/swap parts.

Thanks Y'all

I read about MAME years ago but wasn't very interested. BUT, I always wanted to own an arcade machine. So after I bought my first one (closer to now). I began searching for arcade resources at Barnes and Noble. There I found the Bible.

I started fixing up my Galaga cab and googled for monitor help.
(thanks guys)

And now we have pink T-Molding.
And MAME r00lz.

I started my first cab, Radicade and My girlfriend blames all of you!

w00t!

I picked up a working JAMMA cab (POW) at a yard sale.  POW sucks, so I was going to put MAME in it, and I ended up here.

I never did MAME that cab, it has WWF Superstars in it now.

  I think I came here indirectly from reading the same slashdot article that jakobud posted.  I had thought about arcade machines before, but it was that article on slashdot that got me actually ready to start a project machine.  Once I started many internet searches led back to these forums and the BYOAC page in general.  Kind of hard to miss.  =)
