Jim's simultaneous 3 Arcade Cabinet Build - Finally Complete

My third son, and future video game addict, was born last week, so things took a temporary backseat. Now that all's well on that front, I've got back to work on the cabs.
Last night I decided to start working on the wire harnesses, since no loud power tools are required.
Here's the end result:

I have some catch up work to do on the blog. I've got the sides all cut out and all of my power switches wired up.
Happy Building!

All details of the relay controlled power switch have been added. I think I've caught myself up now in the blogging department. That means it's time to do some more actual work and less typing.

Happy Building!
