arcadimac: best use for an old imac [casemod]
technabob — ... most classic arcade games (other then NEOGEO) using MacMame emulator software. To get all the real arcade buttons and joysticks to work with the iMac, Napes wired them through an iPac USB controller interface, and set up all the key mappings with QuickKeys. The total cost for the entire project was under $200 bucks (plus several months of blood, sweat and tears). Ready to build your own arcadiMac? Napes plans on posting a build guide over on MacMod so you can make one for yourself. ...

An iMac G3 goes MAME: the arcadiMac
Boing Boing Gadgets — ... G3. I got a lot of great suggestions, but I never could quite get over the idea of using the little computer fruit for a MAME cabinet. Mac modder Napes arcadimac project might just get me off of my ponderous duff to do so. The project installs an old iMac G3 running at 233MHz in a table top cabinet, wiring the real arcade buttons and joysticks through a USB controller interface and mapping the keys with QuickKeys. End cost: under $200. And it's even toilet height! arcadiMac [Mac Mod via Technabob]

Tech Blog — ... The MacMame powered Arcadimac is basically "an original bondi blue iMac, built into a custom cocktail-format arcade cabinet, and turned full-fledged arcade gaming system." Click here for first picture in gallery. The arcadiMac runs on a 233MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor, which may not seem like much by today’s standards, but it's plenty powerful to run most classic arcade games. [via Technabob - Macmod]
