Building a stand-up arcade cabinet
MAME:
Multi Arcade Machine Emulator
Din is a popular choice on business and tech sites. It's also a good font for creating page titles with impact.
Twice this year (2018), I have found myself engaged in discussions around building an upright arcade style cabinet for use with a MAME system. So what the heck. Let’s build a couple of them. I’m going to start by building a first version, taking inspiration from others that have shared their work. That first one will be sure to reveal improvements either in design or construction. When it is complete, I and two others will build Version 2 for ourselves. I will make videos of this entire process, along with the drawings and materials lists, to include the internal components.
Fusion 360 Drawings
This link will take you to the Fusion 360 web based share. Here you can download a copy of the current drawings to explore and edit for your own purposes.
Component parts
My preferred source for build components is Amazon. This is a list of the items I have our would have purchased (if needed) for this build.
Prototyping at 30%
With the initial drawings complete in Fusion360, I did a quick scale to 30% and cut the sides and button tray out on the CNC machine. This would look really cool with a 10" display and working MAME controls. 12/9/2018
