GtBFilms November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 Hi, I've just signed up to this site now that I've got my Bartop MAME cabinet built and up and running after a lot of head scratching and late nights. Thought people might be interested in seeing it. There's a long construction story I can share here if it would be of use to anyone - I think I learned that you should set a budget, and expect to spend about three times that amount before it's finished! Anyway, here's my new Bartop MAME cab. I'd be interested in seeing what others have created, especially how to avoid that big PSU hole in the back - thought about covering it in wire mesh maybe?

Cugel February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 looks good.I have one too, but not as well finished as yours.You could go for a PicoPsu if you want to avoid a big psu hole in the back.That will be in my next build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parityclaws February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 That looks really nice, I wouldn't mind building one after I do my vewlix cab, but first I think I should build a bar for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageMind April 3, 2016 Share April 3, 2016 Have you had any issues with overheating across the MOBO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallex April 26, 2016 Share April 26, 2016 Bartops are always so cool looking, almost wish i would have built one instead of a full size one, it takes up sooo much space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvette4evr May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 I am curious where you got plans for this, if you did? I cannot afford the space of a full cab but would like to build a bar top unit. I really like the design of yours it is very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueArrowUK June 7, 2016 Share June 7, 2016 I love the Bartop builds, when I make mine this is what I'll be aiming for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titchgamer June 19, 2016 Share June 19, 2016 Nice build, I was going to build a Bartop to sell on then I decided to just put the money into my full cab instead LOL You may want to install some extra fans though as I had a old cocktail cab with the board screwed down in like yours but had trouble with the components over heating.

Salohcin92 November 17, 2020 Share November 17, 2020 Sweet. All it needs is a nice pint of your favorite beverage and you got the perfect bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leathco October 21, 2021 Share October 21, 2021 That looks very clean! I miss my old MAME cab I made years back I had to sell. My game room has a bunch of the Arcade1Ups in it now, and for the rest I just have my X-Arcade controller hooked up to a Pi 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
