Now here are my thoughts for the Control Panel...

I dont know if I am going to build one... I am thinking about just buying a control panel from Mike's arcade, its only $85. I figure that after i buy the joysticks, strikes, and the artwork, plexi, and prolly screw it up it will be easier and cheaper to just buy one...haha

But I do plan on building my own custom 2 player panel that I will be able to swap out with this one

Arcade Shop is GREAT.  You will not be disappointed.  You are right about the control panel - it is almost a wash to order all of the parts separately and build it yourself.  Note that the $85 CP doesn't have a Nintendo stick installed - it is way more money otherwise.  I love the feel of JLFs and I wanted the challenge of building the CP myself so that's the route I went.  I love the way it came out so I have no regrets although there were a few times I was wishing I had just ordered the thing!

Yea im not too worried about the nintendo stick, its something i can always add later, Quarter Arcade sells used ones for $20-25 something like that, so i could always go that router, hell maybe i can call and see if he will sell it to me with out the joystick for less...who knows.

That is exactally what I was planning on doing.  CP from Mikes Arcade and the Bezel plus extras from arcade shop.  Let me know how it all looks when you get it.  Where did you get the T-Molding, I was thinking about adding it to my order at one of these 2 places to keep shipping down, both have it for $10 I believe.

Yeah, the paint was expensive but I'm very happy with the end result.  The surface dried hard and seems very difficult to chip or ding.  These things are a money pit.
