My scratch built MAME machine.

HI Everyone,

Andrew, from Sydney Australia here!

Been a reader (and user) of BYOAC for sometime now, but never joined the forums till now.

I completed my mame machine about 6 months ago and have been slowly refining it and adding things to it over the months.  I finally installed a HAPP trackball and I'm about to fit an ACT-LABS gun once I get a new chip installed into the VGA box to work with my 21" monitor.

Built from 12mm MDF and the only part I actually paid for was the control panel controls.  I wanted to prove to my wife that I could build a mame cabinet for next to nothing!   Everything else is from Charity shops or salvaged from people throwing parts out.

If you want more info on the cabinet please ask me!

You can view the cabinet here.

Congrats, it's a great feeling 'finishing' a mame project.

Sure is, although by it's very nature it's never truly finished.

I'm always able to find something I can change / add-on / fix / setup / install / move

Cupholders!  It looks sweet though.  I only wish that I had been born with half the dedication of the most of you.
