I was going to make my own, but it was much easier to get one custom made.. Normally the cocktail cabinets have the controls on either end, opposite each other but i went for the dual control in the center and a larger 26" LCD screen so i could also play the two player style games like mortal kombat, street fighter etc etc.

i will get some nicer pics up soon guys.

So how does it work, does it have a bunch of games built in on a hard drive? how do you add games and the such.

Well its a full arcade machine so it supports JAMMA arcade boards.
I have purchases a customized mame type motherboard which has a JAMMA connection too, basically it has whatever you want on it and a main menu to sort through the games.

Not sure how legal it is, but then again if i built my own mame cabinet it would have been no different.
