And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

I'm not sure that counts as designing anything.  He just slapped two xarcade setups on there.

Wow, thats just down right ugly. 

And it wouldn't have been hard to make it swap between the two controllers with a plug / play solution.   (one keyboard/mouse... take that off and plug the joystick in... that that off and plug the trackball... wouldn't have been all that bad.

Where do you stand?  And how the heck do you reach the controls? 

Killer idea but a little overkill on the panels....

Nice Dynamo cab though, wouldnt mind getting that.

Not a bad price if it has enough working parts to make it profitable to tear apart and actually build something.  I mean, how much did your working cab cost?
Otherwise, I wonder if it comes with an insurance policy to protect against mental anguish?

I bet the truth is, his wife is making him get rid of it.  If it aint that, its his mother... 

Wives & housefire are the two major downfalls of most arcade collections.

I think the tipping point for this guy's project was... THE TIPPING POINT! haahaha.

He was all done. His hard work and ingenuity was challenging, but he completed his mission. He stood back and gazed at his creation. And his creation tipped over forward.
NO MORE!!
