Elegant Way to Connect PC to Arcade?

Post by Deathgaze »

I got a New Astro City which I use with a GroovyMAME purpose built PC connected via a JPAC. Just wondering if anybody has any clean and elegant setup for this? All I can think of is opening the main door on the cabinet and having the JAMMA harness stick out, which results in wires all around your feet.

I rather not drill any holes into the cabinets body.

I've got my stepdown wired inside my cab and power the PC from the stepdown via a splitter. Keeps everything inside the cab that way
