Stuff holding you up from intiating/completing your cab
Necro:
Biggest thing I learned is saving a few bucks - even a few hundred - isn't worth it if the solution is out there in pre-made form 75% of the time. (Control/wiring/lighting wise).
rcub3:
Necro.... amen. That's why I bought a cab kit from North Coast, with plans to build my own CP from scratch. Well, that hasn't happened yet because I need to coordinate with my uncle who's got the tools/shop to work on it. So basically:
+1 Time
Benevolance:
The biggest obstacle to finishing my cabinet is the fact that it can play arcade games.
yotsuya:
Feature creep. You're just about finished, then you see someone's cool idea and want to add it as well. That's why my cab now supports swappable CPs using RJ-45 jacks!

You foolishly made it functional before it was completed!! :D
I had the whole PC/software setup before the cab was built, and was having a hard time not playing games on the PC as it sat in the dining room waiting.
I have a hard time stopping on something until it is finished. (unless I get burnt out, 80 hours on a painting last year, and I'm just starting to feel like painting again) I usually work long past being hungry or exhausted, which very often leads to disaster (I've burnt/cut/electrified myself, broken important pieces
etc). You'd think I'd learn to take a break or just drop it when I need to eat or sleep, but I just have a hard time doing so. ..
