Cool keep us updated, I would especially like it if you shared how you wire up your control panel.  I oredered a control panel (precut) and have been looking at how people decide to wire their cp. Some are very neat and orderly with color coded wiring.. some are messy but work just as well.

I'm trying to go for the neat version, I have everything ready.. the buttons, joysticks, wire, easy connects, crimper.. I'm just waiting on that cp.

It won't be very clean. I only have one color of wire that I grabbed at Radio Shack a while ago, and I don't have any easy connects yet. I'll put up some pictures though before I permanently seal it in there!

"None more black"

You know, you can get black joysticks and black button....or, were you looking to add some color?  What are you planning for the marquee?  I'd look to try to get joysticks and buttons that would match the marquee, if you have no plans for side art.

Quite frankly, your cabinet is simple, bland and dark, and then your photos are even darker , that I'm wondering why you even posted this.   ???

Do you really just need ideas for button colors?

Why are you being that way?

Yeah.. Anyways...

I decided to go for streetfighter color buttons, but ended up looking at the wrong image, I bought blue,green and red. Here's an image of what I think most ppl do for the street fighter control panel. I also thought maybe all blue buttons and joystick would look pretty nice.  I like blue on black.
