Which of these is the best cabinet for MAME?

Well, it looks like I'm going to pick the machines up on June 17th. (I'll have a UHaul to move into my new house the same day, so that should work out good)  I should have 2 pretty strong dudes to help. Hopefully the three of us, along with a refrigerator "dolly" can get the machines into the UHaul.

Any words of advice for transporting the machines?

Old rugs, sheets or carpet to protect them from banging together, rope rubbing or being scratched.  Tie them down securely.  Is UHaul a hire trailer or truck.  If trailer and you are standing them up, try to position them over the axle.

Yeah?  Where?

RayB:
Chances are the cabs you chose are at LEAST 300 lbs. (25" monitor?)

You should be fine .. you are probably looking at a bit more than 300lbs, but three guys and a dolly should be OK.

Rule #1 is to check that everything is secure inside before moving. Anything that isn't bolted down comes out. I have broken this rule once and it bit me.

Rule #2 is slow and easy works just fine. Pop off the CP to make things easier and don't force things.

Other than that, follow the advice of cdbrown.

Cheers.
