PacFan's Cabinets (*2!)

PacFan sent in pictures of his arcade cabinet projects, and the kicker with his is the plural...  So far he has two cabinets, and he's working on a third!  Both cabinets feature PowerRamp's as their interfaces, with AMD 450's under the hood.

The vertical cabinet uses a refurbished monitor from Happ Controls, while the other uses a WG3100 monitor.  His third cabinet will be housed in a 25" monitor system - he says soon his house will be full of these things!  I can think of worse fates :)

Close up of the guts.  PowerRamp board on the left, mother board on the back wall.  Everything nicely mounted sans PC-case.

Nicely done :)  Thanks PacFan!
