MAME Cabinet

Are you allowed to sell them here?

This is the first one I built. It's 28x18x24 running Maximus Arcade.

OH thats sick...what are the specs? I have an xarcade right now but something small would be cool

 

Hey, nice. Personally I'd put some decals on there, but for a sale it's probably best to have a clean slate.

Good question... I don't see any problem with the hardware itself, but seeing how MA is Windows only, I'd say including a proper Windows license would be necessary.
The list of games installed, if any, might matter too - especially if it's pretty recent non-MAME stuff (e.g. Taito Type-X). Best to wait for ASSEMbler to speak up on this.

 

Well it was made to just run MAME, SNES, NES, Neo Geo, Genesis, Master System, Atari, Collecovision, Intellivision etc. So that's what's on it. It's just a Celeron, 1gb RAM, 120gb HD running Windows XP. The hardware runs everything listed fine. The screen is a 17 inch BenQ LCD monitor. There's Plexiglas on the control panel and monitor. I just have to move and don't want to ship it 1,000 miles.

 

You can sell it here but you can not include it being pre-loaded with any roms as part of the sale nor can it be reflected in the price.

Anyways nice cabinet. I can see you getting $400-$600 for it. It's a bit specialized but that might help move it faster.

 

You really think it's worth that much?

 

To be honest, I probably wouldn't pay that much for the setup. In my local area, they sell Neo Geo cabs around $400 up to $1000 based on condition and those things are full stand-up systems.

 

Not everyone has room for a 6ft cabinet. I do have one but I prefer this one much more as it's small and only weighs 50 pounds. I was going to ask $300 though. I spent $150 in parts making it. I guess I'll make a thread in the marketplace after taking more pictures.

 

I've seen custom built micro cabs fetch more then a normal mame cab because they use up less space and are less of a pain to ship across the country.
