Not only did John come up with a unique theme for an arcade cabinet, but he also went the extra mile literally "sculpting" custom pieces for his build.

Mountain Dew Arcade Pics Print E-mail

MD ArcadeWay back in May, I made mention of the Mountain Dew contest going on where you had the opportunity to win an arcade cabinet.

RetroBlast reader Wil saw my recent response making a call to anyone that had more pics of the actual cabinet to send us some shots.

More for curiosity than anything else, I wanted to see how this thing was built and what was powering it under the hood.

Turns out the people who built the machines for Mountain due are using your standard PC setup running Windows XP and using Maximus Arcade as their Front End System to navigate the 178 games that are loaded on the machine.

Check out the pics after the jump.

It looks like they customized the Front End slightly to work with a Namco Pre-Installed Set:

Thanks to Wil for the pics!
