Tardis MAME Cabinet is Nerd Cool

Building a MAME cabinet is not that unusual, at least to a lot of NerdBeach readers.  Yes, it is a subset of culture that does so, but usually it ends up more or less as an arcade cabinet.  But building one into a replica of Doctor Who's Tardis?  Now that takes classy and adds an air of cult that I find to be pretty cool. 

If having a Tardis Mame cabinet is appealing to you, the Tardis Mame Console website breaks down all the steps needed to make a run of the project.  The website does a great job of explaining the construction, with plenty of pictures to help (and a good dose of humor along the way).

Of course, I do have to state for the record that such a Tardis will not be larger on the inside than it is on the outside, nor will it actually travel through time, no matter how much you tinker with the central controls.  However, you should consider adding that infamous grinding sound from the show when the Tardis travels -it seems only fitting.
