My Cabinet - Title TBD
Benevolance:
Looking good so far!
Chewiecade is awesome. You could add the tagline: "Always let the wookie win." :laugh2:

Looks real good so far. I'm a fan of Gamester's cabinet as well.
I like your idea for a theme. Star Wars characters stylized to look like Street Fighter might be something to think about for artwork.

Are you de-casing it (i'm always worried about electrical shock on them)

not deceasing it... Too chicken and I don't think I gain much from it. I got lucky to have that particular tv sitting around. It has a 27 inch screen but not much space used around the edges for trim. I am only going to have to bezel a few inches on each side and I found a nice piece of 32x40 black mat board at hobby lobby for $4. My buddy that is helping build this has a cutter to do beveled edges and stuff so we should be able to make it look nice.
The whole cab only comes out to 29 inches wide measuring from the outside edges so that doesn't seem too bad to be able to leave the tv intact on a shelf.
The only thing I don't really like is that it only has RCA video input but I have been playing on it and it looks fine. I am sure s video would look better but it isn't a deal breaker.

What to name it? Star wars is a good theme plenty of artwork available. "StarCade"?

I thought of StarCade too a while back. I flip flop between thinking it is awesome and really cheesy. Maybe it is both. :)

Great idea. I keep going through a few different theme ideas in my head...
- star wars
- the matrix
- arcade fighter theme
- Arkansas razorbacks
- classic video game characters
Combining Star Wars and the fighter theme could be awesome.
