    Me, and a colleague, will soon be building our MAME Arcade cabinets, I was just wondering if anyone else has dabbled in this art of recreating the Arcade feel at home?

    If so please post, I'm also looking for good blueprints, old cabs, and monitors too...

    I built a cab before I left Sweden - I can put up the website with pics if you're interested...

    Anyhow - here's where you need to look for all the info you need on this :

    http://www.arcadecontrols.com

    If you don't want to build the control panel youself (this is the trikiest part) you could go with a HotRod, an X-Arcade or even for Arcade-In-A-Box

    Let me know if you want further info !!

    Thanks !!

    It was a great Cab, but I couldn't bring it with me when I moved back from Sweden, so I had to bust it up and throw it out...

    However, I kept the Control Panel (the most complex part) and brought that with me - I may buy a house this yaer and if I do, I'll be rebuild the cab (bigger and better of course) - then I'll ship over my Pibnball Machines from Sweden also !!
