In a nutshell, I stufffed a PC running MAME and some other emulators into a cabinet, added the buttons (I hooked them up with a gamepad, then used a program called JoyToKey to convert the joypad button pressing to keystrokes) and put in a monitor. For the outside, a lot of it was repainting the outside, although I also got new trim. Let me know if you have questions about something else.

Nice Cab man,I have been wanting to make one of those for a while now I started a few threads on it a while back but I dont think I'll get around to doing it this summer I want a really nice cabinet for a cheap price not just the first thing that I see. Cause I have only seen one for sale and that was a nfl blitz cab it was in good shape but I want something a little different.
