Agree. Helpful constructive criticism is very different from flat out being mean.

For those who missed it:
The Pros:
1. cab was nice and clean.
2.Fresh black paint on nice new MDF.
3. Actual plastic monitor shroud under plexiglass bezel.
4. New generic multicade marquee
It's cons:
1. a very low hung coin door (which was an off-silver color).
2. No arts.
3. A shelf with a purple x-arcade control panel on it (which of course had around 6 buttons per player on it). A little excessive given the game selection.
4. A homemade cabinet shape with very rigid angles, giving it a very "boxy" appearance.
It was something I knew he was gonna catch static for on this forum. That's the reason I tried to give him some support. I remember my first homemade cab. I thought it was the shit. Then after I got into the hobby a bit more, I looked back and thought, "wow, that thing WAS shit!"
Look at it this way, atleast he didn't butcher a classic.

its so much easier to get a shitty old jamma cab and do whatever cosmetically needs to be fixed. the cost of just the wood for a scratch build is gonna be more than the total cost if you get a project cab to start with.
the most important thing is to get input on your design before you start building! it saves lots of headaches later on. noone is perfect, and especially if you dont have experience designing or building arcade cabinets you really should let people check out your plans before you ever even buy a piece of wood.

True dat. My first was a wierd homemade cab as well. I realized after the fact that the cab cost alone was nearly $200. Screws, MDF, t-molding, plexiglass, wiring, etc. What a hunk of shit. I was so lucky that I broke perfectly even when I sold it.

damn!!! NASA called and wants their control panel back
There's real irony in the reaction to posts like this, and then people posting other messages saying, "Will _________ get people interested in our hobby?"
I started off with MAME on a computer, built a MAME cabinet from the carcass of a trashed Pac-Man, and have now graduated to owning two dedicated cabinets. Without MAME as the low barrier to entry into the hobby, that would not have happened.
