I'm surprised at the positive reception of the...undressed....PVC, let alone the free-standing monitor.

The green cab looks good.

That is an old pic. I took it as soon as i painted the PVC. Now, all of the yellow pieces have black racing decals on them (ie:Seibon Carbon, Sparco, etc.). As for the monitor, it is bolted down to the podium. The podium is bolted to a long/thin board laying under the carpet. The wall also has many more racing themed photos on it now. Also, you can't see it but, on the ceiling i have the racing area lined with checkerboard racing penants. I will try and take a new pic this weekend.

...a few more pic's of the Nascar PVC setup. (I am still waiting on a couple more decals). Also, a pic of my overall Arcade setup.

I'm not saying this to be rude but rather as some constructive feedback for those who might consider modeling their cabinet after your "Pacman" build.

First, you have a Pacman marquee and Dig Dug side art.  That seems a little odd for a custom build but fine.  However, you have a giant cabinet and a super tiny piece of side art.  It seems out of place.

Along those same lines, you have a tiny monitor in that large cabinet....it also looks out of place.  The same is true for the control panel configuration.  You have a control panel large enough to be a diving board and a few buttons and a joystick bunched in the center of the control panel.   Is that one of those $10 plug and play deals with a handful of games?

Making your own game cabinets can be a blast but they need to  be "playable" and easy on the eyes if they are going to be displayed in your home.
