[Swansea Hackspace] mame/arcade cabinet

[Emyr Morris]

yeh I was wondering about veneered chipboard, like the stuff kitchen
cabinets are made from... black would be nice! :-)

a pal was given an ikea style arcade cabinet kit for christmas last year
(by his wife!) it looked impressibe but probably took out a lot of the fun
of the making :-/
