[bigpete405]

@avaya934 thank you

[bboymassUK]

Awesome guys.

[Yunoha4]

Where did you get the instruction sticker for the MK3 Cabinet?

[kyatos77]

amazing work, very very nice final product. One question: where did you get the original scan (and wich resolution you use it) for side images?. I'd like to make my own "final fight" cabinet but i got the upper marquee only and the cabinet.

Thanks for sharing your work!

[shaolinXtreme]

dat dude @ 4secs look like ed boon

[bigpete405]

@shaolinXtreme wow you know thats my brother and I never realized that until you said so.

[liquidus2172]

[TheElite568]

[mrwiw]

100% thx

[Pandabearmadness]

[MrHello64]

What are the songs?

[RedShirtDavid]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[bigpete405]

@RedShirtDavid glad you enjoyed. thanks for the compliment

[GamersChannel88]

1:51 always where goggles when working with wood! :)

[bigpete405]

@GamersChannel88 yes yes and a mask

[nmulcahy27]

Awesome build.  Looks true to the original! You definitely seem to have done your homework and taken your time.

[bigpete405]

@nmulcahy27 thanks alot.. these comments made the hard work worth it

[colouredbills]

AWESOME VIDEO

[bigpete405]

@colouredbills Thx

[bigpete405]

@LaugeWittusJohnsen hahaha 

[Stuntman175]

You guys should use goggles and respirators when working with MDF, that fine dust that gets airborne when cutting through it is very hazardous for your health. It can cause debilitating lung problems in long term exposure. On topic, nice cab, it looks great.

[bigpete405]

@Stuntman175 I hear ya one the protection. For whatever reason when I was using the router I didnt.. I always have a mask on.. Thanks for looking out for us, and the compliment.

[Stuntman175]

@bigpete405 No worries, I love watching these cabs getting made and that people still show some love to the arcades, wouldn't want those kind of people to go away because of not being safe. I would love to build my own, but for now, my financial situation doesn't allow it, better days will come I guess.

[bigpete405]

@Stuntman175 When money permits do it!! I had just as much fun building it as I do playing it. When you build it send me a youtube video.. I love watching other peoples methods as well.

[Stuntman175]

@bigpete405 No prob, I'l probably will do a mini arcade cab just because I love all things small, I find them cute lol. But eventually, will make a bartop cabinet because I'm limited in terms of space in my room. I just wish MK9 was on PC so I could make a 2 player MK9 cab to play with my friends because I dislike Street Fighter.

[usernamethis]

Beautiful man! I can't believe you build these things. I don't know much about this stuff but if I wanted an MK 1 machine how much would that run me?

[bigpete405]

@usernamethis thanks bro, if you look on ebay you can find them ranging from $450-$1000

I got my Mk1 for $700

[zyclior]

i bet you tricked all your friends to waste quarters didnt you.

(That was an awesome job man, i might actually build me one too!)

[bigpete405]

@zyclior lmao thanks man

[jackmcslay]

why  does it have 3 sticks?

[bigpete405]

@jackmcslay the Red joystick is a dedicated 4way for games like pac man etc.. its a mame cab not just a mk

[easysp33d209]

what did you use to mount the monitor

[bigpete405]

@easysp33d209 Look at the pictures. its basically 2x4s running horizontally across cab the monitor sits and is screwed into.

[easysp33d209]

@bigpete405 ohh ok that man nice cab by the way

[bigpete405]

@easysp33d209 Thank you

[natedoggcata]

very awesome!

[bigpete405]

@natedoggcata thanks my man

[kornstory]

Where were you able to get the front cp decal?

[bigpete405]

@kornstory ask yourmameman he has the files

[SoulSnatching]

Are the plans for this cabinet available somewhere?

[bigpete405]

@SoulSnatching google mortal kombat arcade plans

[y0utuub3]

You already have one, why need two? give the other one 2 me ^^

[megamindstorm101]

this is pretty nice I love it. I am hoping to build my own arcade cabinet hopefully for mame i wish those arcade monitors wernt so expensive I am probably going to go with a 19in crt :P

[mik3y80]

Hey guys Awesome build on the arcade machine!!! I had a 4 player TMNT machine ages ago but sold it, now im looking to build a mame cab, my brothers a cab maker so that should come in handy, would love to know the mesurements and details on you project as it is awesome! thanks guys.

[lolsaw500]

That's awesome! How do you turn it on though? Do you crawl behind it?

[eksyte]

How is this a dedicated MK machine when you didn't use the MK button layout and installed a ball controller?

Looks like good work, all the same. =P

[bigpete405]

@eksyte The cabinet is almost spot on. the cp had to be custom for mame. thanks for the compliment

[TasteTheirFeet]

freagin' pwnage i am so jealous right now

[TheLongbei]

I just dont understand the position of the buttons, why did you put 3 joysticks? i didnt get it... and by the way, nice Cab!!!

[bigpete405]

@TheLongbei This is a mame cabinet so it plays lots of different games. The red joystick on the top is a 4 way joy which is used for games like pac man and a list of others.

[fsufan850]

mame sucks

[TheGirlsAtTheShack]

@fsufan850 yeah... every arcade game ever sucks. you're a fucking faggot

[bigpete405]

@TheGirlsAtTheShack I don't even reply to jackass comments anymore.. I just delete them. but thanks for checking the fsujackass.

[Bylga]

Omg it looks so great! =O

[guitaristtom12]

where did u get the plans for it?

[bigpete405]

@guitaristtom12 I have a dedicated Mk1 I took measurements from. google mk1 plans and you will find them.

[fourtraxer]

Very cool, but I've seen some really nice empty MK cabinets for like $200.. including a nice monitor... And I'll bet this took a crazy amount of time and money to build this. Not knocking you, just wondering if it was worth the effort in the long run.

[splatproanimations]

sell for 5k each dude 10K !!!!! how much they cost to make ?

[bigpete405]

@splatproanimations  between 1000-1500

[philipmanthe1983]

@bigpete405 How many total hours did it take? I've been thinking about taking on this project with a friend of mine, and doing it piece-meal.

[bigpete405]

@philipmanthe1983 Not sure exactly... some where between 60-80 probably

[splatproanimations]

was there a pic of you bum? : /

[Ludogx2]

Hey bigpete405 I was just wondering where can I find templates or blue prints for the mk cab,please help thanks

[bigpete405]

[Ludogx2]

Thanks for the info. bro,now I can start my MK-cab project.

[psonio3d]

Awesome , awesome work!!! i couldn't tell if it was the original or not...

[bigpete405]

Thanks alot, I appreciate the kind words. If you see it in person it looks better then the original.

[tekopaa]

:) nice graphix in those stickers... how much money did u spend total ?

[bigpete405]

Thanks, hard to add up everything, but I would say over $1000 If you really want an exact number let me know and ill tru to figure it out

[YourMameMan]

VERY nice. Ok, I hate to be the critic here, but the "3" on the side art is off. I am sure you noticed though. I second Mysteriozone. Congrats. Looks great.

[bigpete405]

Thanks Mike, I know damnit..why did you have to point it out. lol just happy I can relax now

[ctozzi123]

[bigpete405]
