Just finished putting together my MAME cab

Just finished putting together my MAME cabinet! I LOVE this thing. This is something I've wanted to do for the longest and finally the chance presented itself. I found the empty cab with joysticks/buttons, light up marque, subwoofer, and built in speakers on eBay 2 hours away for a wopping 239.00 or best offer. This same cab with a monitor in it retails for 1699.00 I offered the guy 200.00 he bit and he delivered it to my door step. I then purchased a refurbed Dell tower and a refurbed Acer 20 inch LED monitor for a total of 165.00 so this whole thing cost me 365.00 to put together. I have a ton of arcade classics on here as well as NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and N64 games. I am waiting for some VGA to USB adapters to get in so I can plug the joysticks into the PC and then I'll be rocking and rolling. this weekend. I also put a USB WIFI adapter so it can still surf the net. Of course mine will be used most of the time to play the old school turtles games.
