MAME cabinets/setups etc

Post by -Replicant- »

I've been looking at plans, pictures, diagrams etc of MAME cabinets and am interested in building one myself over my winter break and over the summer months. Does anyone have any advice for me? I know DooMer and some others have built some in the past/are building some/plan on building one in the future, so I was wondering if you could give me any advice. I already looked at the old thread, which was quite useful.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

Even just to have all the old console stuff on it would be awesome. :icon14:
