this is a job application kiosk that was going to be trashed,
 it was totally Mame compatible (wired with sound,monitor...etc) ,all i had to do was switch out the PC ,remove keyboard and replace with custom control panel,drill holes and keywiz it!
made very few cosmetic changes to the unit, also my mouse is showing Tongue Out

Very sleek-looking cabinet.
I have a question. Why did you put a set of buttons on the back left side of the cabinet? I've never built a MAME cabinet, so I'm just curious.

mainly for lack of space ,
those are
#1 selection(enter) to start the game
#2 coin 1 in,
#3 1 player start,
#4 2 player start ,
#5 exit ( esc ), 
#6 pause, ( one of my favorites )
 i found on my other cabinet that has the buttons on the control panel, people have a tendecy to hit the exit button by accident and kill the game as well!
  also they can easily be assigned for other task

  and i really like the shape of it as well   fruit

That makes sense. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to put the pause button on the main play deck. I've never built or used a full MAME console, but when I play MAME on my computer that pause does come in handy. yes

Very creative idea. HOW did you manage to come by a job application kiosk???
It's crazy just how much one person can do with another person's "trash".
Great Work!  applause Hail

Fab looking unit.... do they have other locations they are upgrading..... I am sure there are people here that would setup the new and take away the old.
