    I dunno, but this is something I've wanted to do myself for a long time now.

    Yeah, I built my own 4 player cabinet a few years back, was good fun building it as I had no woodworking skills before I started!

    It's evolved a bit since those pics, newer, bigger tv and a solid stand for the TV, but the main control panel and panel base remain the same.

    http://arcadecontrols.com is by far the best resource for information about building your own.

    Here is a mame cabinet, for four players. It costs over $6000

    Zzap,



    nice setup

    what did that run ?



    the cabinet that costs over $6k is way over priced

    if it came with a 60" plus all the gear it would be worth it...lol



    I guess I would find a couple local guys

    1. a cabinet maker

    2. and a professional painter



    I think I can find good artists and cabinet makers for low prices

    NY has many people competing for business...lol



    I dont think it would be hard setting up all the emu warez myself

    I run mame, and emulators for most consoles. I acutally set up a front end with a list of "Best Ofs" for each year (Max around 15 games per year I think) that spanned arcade and consoles from 1977ish. Is great fun image

    As a professional carpenter, this is something I would like to do one day, when I own my own home.  I don't have room for it in my apartment.  I've heard MAME mentioned before, what is a MAME?

    It's the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, basically an emulator for nearly every arcade platform - ever! It's a crazy big project, and the emulation is amazing!
