Oh, that's pretty awesome, it looks really cool. How long did it take you to make that?

I have my own MAME cab, but I actually used a VS Goonies cab (which was stripped of the game and screen before I got it...) and an X-arcade stick, so it looks a lot cheaper than yours. I hope to eventually have the time/will to spruce it up though.

@jobocan It took about 3 solid months of building. It's all MDF and heavy as hell. Designed all the graphics myself and painted the design on the side. Wired in a PC with a keyboard encoder running MAME and the front end I use is called MALA.

Here's the build log on BYOAC: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=95293.0
