It's custom made. Notice how thin the cab is, it can only take a LCD and takes up very little floor space. Seen a few on BYOAC...
The guy did drill his X-Arcade Tankstick, though. Nothing says "arcade newbie" like a decent arcade cabinet completely ruined by placing a completely intact X-Arcade panel in the CP. I see this over and over. X-Arcade was a "gateway drug" for me but I don't do X-Arcade any more. ipac blows X-Arcade away is every respect.
 
I've seen worse. This would be a good cab option for the guy who wants something that's versatile. The X-arcade tankstick is a bit much, but it IS a good controller to move to a coffee table - you could unplug from the cab and play in front of your big screen TV if you wanted to.

I've seen some pretty shi**y builds, but this isn't one of them.
