Made this few years back and was watching a lot of car shows where everything was a theme build. Rotating monitor is the way to go, so glad I put in the effort.

Quoted from Aladdin:

This is truly a work of art! It belongs in a VW showroom man!

Thanks, it was a group effort, I did the did the design and and electronics, it has an amp and down firing sub to match the headlight speakers. My brother is the carpenter in the family he built the cabinet. Its actually painted with automotive paint in the official VW colors from the early 60's. I think its Sea Blue and Arctic White.

On the Hyperspin topic I found it very easy to configure. The initial set up took a little tinkering but no real issues. The trick is just only listing the titles you want and not all the clones and bootlegs.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

A few questions for you mamesters. I am in the process of trading around a few pins, and may have enough left over for a mame setup. I am looking into getting a used MAME setup off of Craigslist, so I'm looking for something lower end that still looks like an arcade machine. My questions are:
1. Where are you guys getting the Mame roms? It seems like a great way to get your PC full of viruses.
2. In addition to playing the classics, there are 2 mid 90s games I am really interested in playing... NFL Blitz and Gauntlet legends. Would something like this work on a retropie setup or is that a bridge to far.
3. I see deals for 4 and 8 TB HDs with pretty much every rom ever on facebook... good idea or bad idea?
If you guys have preferred sites or could point me towards good sources for Mame stuff? I see tons of sites but don't really know where to start.
Thanks.

I think the bigger question is do you like to tinker with things. Personally I would much rather just do a little research online and do it myself. The HDs that are all set up just seem like a scam to me. Someone charging to download something that is free on the internet, it just rubs me the wrong way. A quick google search will provide several options for roms, I use a french one that seems to have everything and I have never had any issue with viruses. That being said if the rom comes in a exe don't use that site. I do remember Gauntlet Legends being a finicky game to get working, it may take some extra effort. There are a lot of great resources out there, personally the DIY route is the way to go. Also spend money on controls, I used UltiMarc and love them, they do cost more.
