The poor man's arcade cabinet

If you're going to build an arcade machine or MAME system for yourself, at least put some money into the cabinet.

Wow.... just wow.  Why would anyone waste their time on such a pile of trash?  It has probably already collapsed, damaging the joystick, monitor, etc. in the process.  :-s

Check _this_ shit out. Dude apparently has a fixation with transformers, and a really, really red neck.

He's got 2 control pods that stash inside of an (oh so lovely) coffee table. Got a computer in there for a little MAME action. Flip up the top, yank out the boxes, plant your ass on the couch and lets play some BIDEO DAMES, HOSS!

You'll notice that these inbred freaks apparenly have 2 left hands, as they have 2 sticks on the left side of the box. Then, their right hands must be abnormally large. Look how far apart the buttons are. F****** creepy.

I bet these boxes don't move around or shit like that neither, look real rock solid on those little wooden supports.

Go to his page, check out the reall large pictures to see the FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP. Or don't, it's probably better to leave it alone.

same thoughts here. the only reason behind i really can see, is representing that shit in the internet to get some attention from the other I-peeps.
