Here is my collection thus far minus a couple cabinets. Ive rearranged a few times so a couple cabs appear in different positions in some of the photos. I have a strong focus on collecting music games as you can tell.

Couple notes:

The collection of MVS carts represent most of my carts. I think I have 8 or 9 missing from that picture in one of my 2 dedicated MVS Neo Geo arcades (a candy and a woody).

I rescued the blast city from a life as a sega bass fishing (which it was broken beyond repair anyway). It's running mame right now till I get some boards in. Its got a lot of stuff that needs to be done to it in general.

Sorry I dont have any better pics of my american stand up atomiswave. I did a conversion on that cabinet from sports shooting to buttons/joysticks. The control panel is swappable if/when I want to run some light gun games on it in the future.

Eventually all 3 candies are going together in my house. Ill get a picture up when that is done.

I was featured on gameroom junkies a while back as well. It has a video walkthrough of a portion of my arcade:

Gameroom Junkies

They are always looking for new submissions if anyone wanted to post their collection there.

At this time, nothing in my collection is available for sale

Impressive collection.
I particularly like those old school Space Invaders cabs.

Nice collection, great to see a Daytona in there.

At first look, on that last pic I thought you had a floor to ceiling pole in there...and maybe you made your gf/wife dance for coins before she could play on your machines :)

Wow, impressive collection of cabs. Most variety I've seen in anyone's collection.

haha, thanks for the great compliments! I actually finished "paying off" the hydro thunder yesterday. = D
I work at a small time flooring place and the owner and I both love arcade machines. Most of my collection Ive "purchased" through the installation of floor coverings. For instance, the hydro thunder cost me my time installing a master bedroom of carpet and an adjoining living room of carpet and then the supplies to do a huge walk in closet (carpet, pad, tack strip, etc) and my time to do it. I did the master bedroom/living room a month or so ago and went and did the walk in closet yesterday. Sometimes I only do the labor and they provide the materials, sometimes I provide materials, whatever I can do to get arcades in trade!

Ive had a heavy focus on trying to keep cabs dedicated and unique though I have a few dynamo/other this and thats to round off the collection. I have a pinball that is not pictured. A nice Miss-O that plays great. I also have a showcase cab but it doesnt fit in my collection space anymore so its on the way out. Ive filled most of my space I have though there is always room for a House of the Dead 1, 2 or 3 if I find one. = D

PIMP setup. Really nice, diverse collection!

With all the deals that can be found these days, the biggest enemy of arcade collecting is space!

I don't think I've ever seen that many Bemani games in a single arcade, let alone someone's house! :) I couldn't even imagine the determination it takes to move some of the bigger cabs available. :(

I actually dont have all of these arcades in my house. Im moving my 3 candys together to a room in my house but my arcade is actually across the street and part of the carpet warehouse where I work, so close by but not adjoined to my living domain. Still though, its wonderful to have a collection! When Im not out installing I work in the store, and when there isnt customers I just fire up my arcades and play. = D Honestly there isnt anything else to do out where I live so I create my own entertainment.
