So i built my first cabinet last year......(sadly no posts or pictures of the build).
I wasn't too keen on the look and decided i wanted something a bit less generic.
a short video of where i was up to last week:

Since then the T moldings now glued down on one side, the volume knobs different, 
coin rejects are fixed and hooked up, and the lock down bars been painted.
im about 95% finished on this, need a pc and a few tweaks.
