Bartop cabinets without marquee

Has anyone built a bartop cabinet without a marquee? If so, what does yours look like? I'm building a bartop for a relative and was trying to cut corners on cost for him. I figured marquee and backlight would add an extra $40 to the entire system.

If you print it yourself you can cut that cost by a ton.  All you would need is a ten dollar light and a small piece of plexi.

I remember seeing one that had the shape for a marquee but had solid wood or mdf there so a marquee was added later by glueing in place.  No light, no plexi and no special printing needed. An added advantage is the shape still allows speakers to be mounted in the area.  If you do away with the marquee area all together it makes speaker placement difficult.

Good points. Thanks.

Haven't built it yet, but the MiniBeast is marqueeless. But I also consider it a table top machine vs a bartop...
