I am currently building up an arcade cabinet with a PC inside running the Mame emulator
to emulate arcade games. Currently the system is running, but the joysticks and buttons
need rigging up to the keyboard input. Keep an eye on this page for updates.

Image of Inside of cabinet

Inside at the far right is the power pack, with the hard drive just under that.
To the left is the motherboard with sound and video card.
In the centre is a standard compaq 14 inch screen removed from casing and
placed in original arcade monitor brackets. To the left of the monitor is the
motherboard from the monitor.
I use the DOS front end for Mame called ArcadeOS, as this allows a cocktail cabinet
mode front end for selecting the games.

Here you can clearly see the inners of the cabinet without the monitor
in the way. At this point I have hacked a keyboard apart and rigged a breadboard on
it so I can wire up the controls to the relevant keyboard input.
