Still there though he appears to have done something strange with the directories. It's now at:

He did great things for making easy to use plans accessible.

Unfortunately he did it with plans for a terrible looking cab.  Just one man's opinion.  The NFL blitz, Mortal Kombat cab looks pregnant in front and takes up a huge amount of space.  There are classic designs which lend themselves well to MAME applications and look much better and are going to be more wife friendly when it comes to appearance and space which could otherwise be occupied by incredibly unfun dust collecting knick knacks.

yikes, that was brutally honest there Mark70.  i don't know, when i first did my cabinet, i looked around and just wasn't too impressed with other cabinet layouts.  lusid's plans worked out great for me.  i think it would be interesting to see if you could start a poll on what different cabinet plans that people decided upon. 

put a tally next to lusid's plans for me.

"Terrible" is probably too stong of a word IMO.  I started with his design, like a lot of others,  but modified it to look better.  But you know the hardest part is getting started and the graph paper plans he provided were the perfect starting point, and I know a lot of others feel the same way or no one would know who he is.

More Cowbell:
I got a ton of ideas and did a lot of learning on Sasquatch's arcadeparadise site. I scoured that site and BYOAC before planning out my cabinet and the method of constructing it. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Sasquatch's awesome documentation of not only the process of constructing, but the thought process that went into deciding on things. I avoided many mistakes that I know I would have made by seeing him make them first in one of his early renditions of arcadeparadise.
I never really liked the Lusid design either.
