Anyone got any pictures or links to gallerys with interesting original/ official/ hilarious/ homemade arcade cabinets?
Careful, this could be alot of fun and or inspirational.

I think GaijinPunch posted this a while back in OT.

I respect the fact that they have the drive to build an arcade cabinet. Fact is, most of these guys don't really have "woodworking" skills. I tried to make a cabinet. It was uber ghetto. I ended up spending more money building something that looked terrible. I then grew a brain and realized my woodworking skills sucked..time to buy a candy cab!

Here's mine:
http://benchmark.mameworld.net/cab1/
I'm no woodworking pro or anything, but it came out OK. I did it more for the fun factor than to try and make anything flash looking (generic black cab ahoy!). Plus it was shitloads cheaper than trying to find a place that sold cabs in my city (until of course 3 years later I started importing candies with a local businessman, which changed all of that).
