First Arcade Cab Project - UltraLux RGB Button Tip!
releasedtruth:
Marquee has a decent background, but the stretch is a little weird. If you are willing to give the project a name, you could ditch the MAME logo and fill the space a little better
Celsius:
Thanx...and yes i think this is the better choice >:D
EvilNuff:

I had some time to begin the cutting out my box for the CP.
The White spot here is Bondo, my clamp slipped a bit while I was flush trimming with the router so I had to repair the chunk that had gouged out.
And yep Im using MDF here, very dusty stuff...but like the mistake above, MDF is easily repairable.
Ive also bondo my edges and have them sanded down to recieve the paint.
I have a few coats of prime on them now and hopefull I will get some paint on them tonight or tomorrow ::).
Ive decided to paint the outside of the CP box black and the inside blue, I was debating on going with a white interior but the blue on the shelf at Home Depot looked kinda slick and kind of matches my trim.
For fasteners I tried biscuit and Tightbond II on some scrap MDF but it broke, then I tried a Kreg joint with coarse screws that joint was very brittle.
I dont want the joints to show so I may try Kreg Joint on the bottom and then perhaps toss some biscuits and glue on the bottom panel as well as the side pieces.
Hopefully I will get some more pics up tonight or tomorrow.

I got some spray paint on it last night and today, it still needs to dry all the way ... but I couldnt wait to see what it would look like so I slid the pieces together.
Still needs to be fastened and cleaned up, the pictures look pretty bad but it actually looks ok.
