How to Build a Kick-Ass MAME Arcade Cabinet from an Old PC.
Alex Castle from Maximum PC has written a fine article on how to build a MAME Arcade Video Cabinet. Well worth the time to read.
If you were born in the 70s or 80s, chances are good that a big part of your childhood was spent wasting quarters at the local arcade, or in front of the Pac-Man machine at your local pizza place. Sure, games have become a lot more complex since then, but the old titles had a lot of charm, and in some cases a level of skill and patience-rewarding challenge that hasn’t been matched since. Sadly, the arcade is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Now that PCs and game consoles have become so powerful, the only way for arcades to compete has been to offer games with enormous, complicated controls, which end up costing a dollar or more per play.
But you can bring the classic arcade experience back to life, in your own house. With a MAME arcade machine, you and your friends can play your favorite old games, on the authentic controls they were made for.

Had issues with Unreal Tournament and Nvidia GeForce 8600GT (8X00 series, 8800). The game would stutter and frame skip badly. (Extreme stuttering in UT). See what I did here to correct the problem.
