Did you build or buy your control panel?

Built my own,  and now trying to modify existing arcade cabs to fit with universal modular CP's,  more and more cp's, i have like 10 so far and more coming,  the idea is you can take any cp and play is on a 19 inch vert, or a 19inch horiz, or a 25 inch horizontal cab

Im in the planning stages of mine, laying it out in Photoshop.

Then I need to figure out how im gonna make this CP box, with ZERO woodworking skills. I would buy a prefab'd CP, but they are just way too expensive, or predetermined layout is just too much for me.

Benevolance:

I built my own. I spent days looking through the sexy, sexy control panel thread for ideas. I think the control panel was my favorite part of the cabinet to design and build. It was also the most intimidating as a newb when I was planning my cabinet. In retrospect, it wasn't really hard at all; it just required learning some new skills.

DJ_Izumi:

I think the real issue is that this isn't the place where you'd want to market pre-made CPs since that's not what this place is about.  Not that you couldn't market them elsewhere.  This is like going to Home Depot to advertise your contractor services, when really most there either are a contractor or a do-it-yourselfer.

You wanna market to the people with money to blow on nostalgia but no skills to satisfy that nostalgia themselves.

I used the existing KI2 CP on the current mame cab, built my own on Mortal Kabinet so I didnt answer the poll
