I would use a game instead of a movie.
Otherwise i'd crop out Fred and pals.

The smoke cp doesnt really match either

Well i'm not planning on using the fred and pals picture I was just going off that for the marquee and changing the colors around. As far as the control panel I was thinking about reversing the colors and doing mostly black but we'll see as i'm still in the planning stages for that.

bigbuffs:
I've been working on getting the CP all set up. I've got all RGB buttons and light up control sticks too. here's what it looks like right now. Still need to get the computer installed, maybe a few more coats of paint and I'll be getting pretty close.

With the smooth lines of the cab, I'd consider not putting any artwork on it. The white vs black contrast is pretty striking.

Either way, that's a very nice looking cp.

bigbuffs:
So i have all the buttons wired up to a gpwiz and everything seems to be working pretty good. One thing that is really nice about this cabinet is that the control panel housing will slide completely out of the cabinet which made it much easier to get inside my house. Also it has a locking position when you slide it out which makes it easy to work on wiring everything. You can see in one of the pics I have the CP slid out and locked so that I could wire everything up. I also tore apart an old computer case and used the ATX mounting part to mount my GPWIZ and LEDWIZ to. Then I think i will lay the computer down in the back of the cabinet which is completly empty right now. I have the computer all set up with hyperspin and a bunch of emulators and everything is working really well so far. I'm trying to find a 27" computer monitor which seems to be the biggest that will fit in this cabinet, but until I get that I temporarily hooked up and extra 24" monitor I had and I am gonna use that for a while. I used a couple of brackets that the originally monitor must have been mounted to. I just moved them a little and I am resting the monitor on them. Nothing real secure but it will work for the time being.  I still need to get all the LED's wired up but I did manage to get the joysticks hooked up.
