Title: Greetings from The Netherlands!
Post by: Marko on October 08, 2009, 08:59:06 PM

Hey folks, after some lurking around on the board I thought it was time to introduce myself here. I am Marko, *cough37cough* years old ;) and a fan of arcade games since I was a kid. I live in Holland with my wife and 3 daughters and the last few weeks/ months, afer lurking these board and other boards I got hooked on the idea to build myself a sweet MAME cab, but stored in a dedicated design.

After twisting and doubting, my mind is set on a Donkey Kong cabinet. I have been pointed to  this (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=783.0) thread by someone from the BOYAC which progress I was following in  this (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=96299.0) thread. And man, these look amazing!

Well, since I am still in the early planning stages, I willlet you guys (and girls ??) know when I am starting.

Greets,
Marko
