Build a MAME Cabinet in 24 Hours

Ever wanted to have your very own arcade cabinet? Well those of you with some wordworking/electronic skills can do like Chris and build your own game cabinet ... in just 24 hours!

Okay, perhaps not 24 hours, although Chris oulines in great detail how we was able to create his cabinet in 24 hours -- after several months of planning. Chris writes:

Okay, so now I've got your attention - it's true - the cabinet construction was completed in 24 hours, but it took about three months to get around to the last few bits (like decorating the unit), so don't complain if after one day you don't get something that looks like the unit on the left!

Please browse through the links at the top and bottom of each page. They will cover the construction diary (in blow-by-blow detail), the finishing of the unit together with a shopping list, prices and then information on the PC inside the unit. Finally you will be able to download some plans we created after building the device, together with some of the graphics that are on the unit.
