What a spectacular thread! I only found this a couple of days ago, but I've already read through the entire thing.
My buddy and I are planning on building cabinets this summer, and I'm leaning toward this unit, as it looks to be within our construction capabilities.
I have a couple questions, if anyone feels like answering them. First, has anyone made any modifications that allow them to easily access the inside of the control panel? I'd like to be able to switch my joysticks from 4-way to 8-way, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to adjust this to make that happen. It seems like a hinged top to the CP might work, but then again, maybe it won't be stable enough. Any thoughts?
Second, I saw some discussion about the 4:3 monitors versus the easily available widescreens. Anyone come to any conclusions on this? Have one or the other and love it/hate it?
Thanks!

Re. Switching, have you seen the MagStik or servostik from ultimark? Both can be changed without going behind - I'm planning on the ServoStik for my build!
