So, I am getting my cab idea together and want a few opinions (Well, really I want that Neon Cab I saw on here, amazing!). I am in a townhouse, so no woodworking tools (or skills:) ). I really want interchangeable control panels, as I have not seen one that does all I want. I am thinking of buying the Mameroom Cabinet Kit, and then using the Control Panel Designer they have to order 4 or 5 different Control Panels. I ordered a mini-Pac already, and have some Happs stuff I ordered like 2 years ago but never used. I figure I will try a basic control panel first, if it goes well, then move on.
The other reason I like the removable controls idea is for my home theater. I have a Home Theater room set up, with a 92" screen and projector and Surround and all that. I just added a Sony VGX-XL2 Media Center (which totally owns btw), and want to be able to play MAME in there as well. With this set-up, I can unhook the control panel, and bring it into the Home Theater and use it on the 92" screen!
So, anyone have any idea/suggestions?
The Cabinet kit is $500.00
Control Panel Kits are $75.00/each (plus 30 shipping, but hoping I can get a break if I order multiples)
Happs controls will be additional (I have a lot already...trackball, 2 8way stiks, 1 4way stik, and about 20 buttons).
Thanks for any help/suggestions!
