Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
jtrinity:
i've tried to play vertical games with my 19" 4:3 and it was fine. But for me 19" is too small despite in the old days arcade cabinets used those sizes i think. Back then everything seem so big compared to now, maybe is because i'm bigger now too lol.
Maybe someone that have more wisdom can answer those questions. Wait and see.

Enterprise was asking how I hold the marquee artwork, so I took some closeups. I know this is a pretty common procedure here:
Buy the clear corner protector pieces at your favorite hardware store (typically in the wallpaper area), and spray the inside. You'll get a nice clean look with no chance of paint chipping off over time.
Then use that to hold 2 pieces of sandwiched plexi (with your marquee artwork between the sheets, and screw it on.
and disregard the dust on the cabinet!!!

Hi OND,
Just wanted to say thanks for the plans dude. It certainly looks like they have been well received! I am going to rely on them for my first build. I've got the side panels cut out, but I'm going to slow down and get some components now. 8)

Thanks so much brihyn, those pics are really going to help me with the marquee installation.

This looks awesome - might use it for my first build :)
I may enlarge the CP slightly, but thinknig that this would be perfect in every other aspect!
How did you guys decide what artworks to go for?
EDIT: @stigzler do you by any chance have the sketchup files so i can tweak your designs? Cheers
