Great idea for those of us who are on a budget, but just love the arcade feel! :applaud:

Thanks! I stole the idea from others far smarter than me!

Pics of the bottom front (speakers) and bottom back (power entry, vent) below.

I have all the wiring done, splicing a small power strip into the power entry plug was satisfying (but I still had my father-in-law, an electrical engineer, check it, so I wasn't giving my sister a fire hazard).

All of the front/inside/back is painted black, sides and top will be yellow.

Next steps- my masking/bezel painting on the glass didn't go so well. May see if my wife can touch it up by hand. Otherwise,

1. Assemble
2. Paint outside yellow
3. Cut marquee plexi
4. Attach art when (if?) it comes from China.
5. Playtest!!!!!

Well Fed Games:
Art came in- it is a little thin, and has lots of creases (despite the shipping tube being in perfect condition), but am overall pleased! Will be using the "sticker" marquee as opposed to the photo paper one, as the sticker passes light just perfectly.

Mr. Dude:
Awesome Job man!  Thanks for keeping us posted on the details of the build.  I can't wait to see the finished product.

Well Fed Games:
Thanks! Started assembly today...  there is a bit of a puzzle due to the fact I didn't leave myself much (or any) wiggle room as far as mounting the TV (which mounts right to the sides). Might have to call my wife in to help, she is a tetris master.  ;)
