This aggression will not stand, man.
One of my favorite projects was the MAME table I built a few years ago:



I ended up gutting it about a year ago when my laptop died and I needed a computer, but it was pretty great to have around. Total assembly costs were well under $100, though I scavenged most of the computer parts and really only paid for lumber, the buttons, and the keyboard controller. The interface was totally controllable through the joysticks and buttons, so there was never a need to open it up unless you really wanted to, which was good, since it was a jury-rigged mess inside.

Wasn't someone on this forum selling something like this? You maybe?

Nope, wasn't me. I'd build one for someone if they wanted it, though. It was tons of fun to make.

Speaking of MAME Cabs, heres one I converted from an old Sarge cab for someone else. Never did get around to building my own. Notice the fake coin door, built from plywood and stickers, looks good from a distance.

Nice. I wish I had a full-size cab to work with. Maybe one day. I wouldn't be able to stand that joystick configuration, though. Real controls or bust. :D
