Arcade Cabinet with Flush CP

I want start of by saying I'm new here and this is my first post, so hello all!

Can someone recommend a set of cabinet plans for a stand up arcade cabinet that doesn't have a bulky CP box that sticks out from either side of the cab? Having built two bar top arcade cabs in the past I'm ready to take on the construction of a stand up model, however I can't seem to find any plans to build the exact style of cab I want and I'm a little hesitant to design my own.

The cab I'd like to model mine after would be something like the one they sold at Costco called the Ultimate Arcade 2:

(Not the 2+ one they sell now), which had the control panel flush and inset into the cab, but was large enough to accommodate two joysticks, six buttons for each player, one/two player start buttons and a trackball in the center. I'd rather this style of cab over say, the Arcade Paradise 3 (http://www.arcadeparadise.org/arcade/ap3/index.html), which is perfect except for that bulky control box.

Do such plans exist or am I stuck with having to design my own?

Thanks.

Classics never have a sticking out CP. So start browsing Jakobuds collection.

So I modified the arcade paradise 3 plans to accommodate a flush control panel and this is the result (in google sketchup):


Just wondering if anyone had any input on the dimensions. My main concerns are  not having enough space to use the trackball on games like golden tee and whether or not the marquee may stick out too far with regards to how far the CP sticks out (may block vision, hit head, etc.).

Please let me know what you think.

EDIT - The man in the picture is 5'8" whereas I am 6'2", the same height as the top of the marquee.
