Ever seen an Asteriods MAME worth 9000$? Here you go

Why do people even try to do these projects? No part of that even looks remotely accetable except the art on the 30 year old cabinet
 
I could drive down to Lincoln and pick that up, but I'm not going to. He did say that they go from $4k to $9k but only wants $2750. Cabinet looks to be deconvertible but he said something about some kind of pull out drawer.
 
Why do people think throwing a Hotrod or Tankstick on a fucking cabinet is the thing to do? It HAS a control panel, and if not it has a spot to put one!

Hey now, he has spent 10+ years designing this. I think he would know best!
 
that is some fucking god awful piece of shit in almost every imaginable way
 
That's the thing with building a mame cabinet. You better build it for your own enjoyment, because most likely the builder will NEVER EVER get all the money sunk into a mame cab back, ever. It may be $2750 of actual parts but as a complete cabinet, a mame will not sell for a fraction of that. This is why I do not build mame cabs for other people, only for me and if someone falls in love with the work I have already done, then they can make an offer on it.

Yea really. To make it look as bad as that too......

A friend put a tank stick on his cabinet but modified the cabinet to make it at least look better then that.

The other thing is for pretty much the money he is asking you can buy a brand new mame cabinet that was built by someone who has an idea of what they are doing.

Saw this guy on the hyperspin forums. Their are others like him that make better quality mame cabinets.

depends on what kind of junk you have laying around. i recently got an empty cab for $50, the joystick and buttons were fine. i have a friend who has a computer business, he bulk buys old towers and gives me really old ones from time to time. got a computer monitor from a junk shop for $10 and an ipac for $35. the whole thing cost about a hundred bucks and i sold it to a close friend for $300. it doesnt even include a keyboard, so he cant screw anything up, and i set all the keys/buttons custom so theres no way to open any menus or screw things up without attaching a keyboard. yeah it doesnt have every game or every control, but theres some 1300 individual titles that work just fine.
