I have always wanted to build my own arcade machine. This one is verrry nice.


Quote:
Metroid inspired bar top arcade machine.

Plywood exterior (24"H x 24"D x 18"W) houses AMD 64X2 4800 CPU, 2GB Ram, EVGA 7800GTX, Soundblaster eXremeMusic and Logitech R-20 w/ subwoofer. Samsung 17" lcd. 2 Yate Loon fans mounted on top and back. PC power button mounted on back.

Ultimarc mini-pac and Ultrastik plus Wico buttons and a Happs 2 1/4" trackball for arcade controls. RetroUSB NES, SNES plus Adaptoids and USB ports for controllers.

Happs coin reject button doesn't accept coins but pressing it in activates Coin 1 button in MAME.

Mother Brain made of Super Sculpey clay. DVI-Out and Optical-Out on the back for external screen/sound system. One power cord (one still image shows a few cords but they aren't attached to the machine) out the back which is a Bits Limited Smartstrip. When PC turns on, everything (cathodes, controls, sound, LCD) powers on at once.

That is awesome! I love arcade machines, though its annoying how you have to pay...

That one has a lot of buttons, what do they all do? Anyway, very cool.

Awesome.

I wouldn't be able to devote enough time to create one of those. I would get discouraged or bored with it...

Francis, your findings of all things Nintendo and bizarre never cease to amaze me. And the Mother Brain made of Super Sculpey really looks so realistic.
