I chose to build the cabinet from a pre-fab kit since I lack most of the tools and skills required to cut my own.
The fact that there are 150 Neo Geo games, many of which are great, all with the same controls sealed the deal. Simple and attractive artwork, with a ROM set that is easy to emulate on an old PC helped, too. This is a much more versatile solution than using an actual arcade board, which would yield only one game, or a handful at most. When deciding what arcade game to build, I looked for "the most bang for the buck." The system should be PC-based, since I already had an old PC laying around. I had noticed the amazing graphics, sound, and overall fun of many of the Neo Geo games.

I never played Neo Geo console or arcade games as a kid, but rather got into them in my 20's when I learned how to mod the Xbox and play emulated games on it. I first read about Neo Geo and its prohibitively expensive home console and games in an early issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly circa 1990. (For those unfamiliar with Neo Geo, see here for background info.) Mainly, it was because I love the games. I decided to build a Neo Geo Bartop for several reasons. While it seemed economically out of reach at first, I decided that I could make a few financial sacrifices to make it work. In September, just for grins, I priced out a cabinet with the options I wanted. This summer, as I was wrapping up my touchscreen jukebox project, I was considering what my next project should be.
