FYI your panel should:

1) Look 90% like an X-arcade tank stick (but should not be a tankstick).
2) Use an "ergo" SF2 button layout (the kind you never saw on a SF2 machine).
3) Use Japanese joysticks (the kind you never used in a US arcade).
4) Use illuminated pushbuttons designed for video poker machines.
5) Panels cannot be 4-player (some people on this forum never have 3 friends over at once, and obviously neither should you).
6) Trigger sticks should be hidden (trackballs should not).

Follow the above to receive oohs and ahs, and deviate from them at your own peril.

No, not really. If I were to personally insult you, you'd know.
 
Look, this isn't grade school. Not everyone gets a gold star. If someone's posting a project here, they're probably expecting feedback. If someone viewing it doesn't like something, should they be expected to bite their tongue? There's some nice things about this cab people like (myself included), and there's some things people don't like (myself included). It is what it is. As long as henbury is happy, that's all that matters. But I am sure he's a big enough boy to take it all in stride.

You, on the other hand...

Every cab gets a "Good job, good effort!"

opt2not:
I'm with Yots on this one. I don't know what it is with recent generations that they have to be coddled so much. All this self-righteous pride that people have now is so irritating.
When people give constructive feedback, based on logical facts, they take it as a negative jab at their efforts, when the basis of feedback is to improve and educate. Everyone thinks they're right, and no one can admit they're wrong.

Given henbury's response to feedback in this thread, plus the redundant Main forum post pointing to his project-thread, I don't think he's looking for feedback but rather just to show-off.
Personally, I think this project is a design monstrosity, obviously built by someone unaware of visual and ergonomic aesthetics. But like Yotsuya said, it's his build and if he's happy with it, great.  Just don't expect everyone to jump on your wagon...

The build quality is great, but people will critique your design if you post it on a public forum, some will be experienced builders, some won't.

I personally think it would have been a lot better with one little change that isn't related to the joysticks and that is to have the front come out near the edge of the panel. It makes the machine more stable and makes it easier to reach that nice looking (brand new, right??) 4 player coin door you have. Most factory big panel cabinets didn't overhang the front all that much and that extra bump in is one of those things someone unfamiliar with real machines did on a cabinet plan a decade ago and it just kept getting copied. I have a deluxe cabinet at home with that same bump in and I wish it wasn't there.

Here is a picture to show you what it would have looked like that way. This isn't so much a "you did it wrong" type of comment as it is a "if anyone else builds this consider doing it this way" type of comment.
