I will say right off the bat I am 100% clueless with woodworking but can handle the computer portion of this build. Luckily for me my pops has a basically a full woodworking shop and can build just about anything you throw at it. He asked me if I was nuts when I asked him if he could help me build a cab lol he also said sure as long as we had some solid plans  :applaud:..Im looking for suggestions on a not to crazy build. I was planning on getting the X-Arcade Tankstick also and was wondering do plans exist with this in mind as far as size goes?
Currently rebuilding a PP cab and converting it to a mame cab..view the progress here http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,122815.msg1305024.html#msg1305024

  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
  I've just started my cabinet using these plans:
http://www.arcadecab.com
 Everything is explained pretty well and there's photos included.
It gives you a pretty good Idea of what you're doing and you can modify it along the way.  The plans are for a 20" wide cab but  I stretched mine out to 24" for the monitor. 
  Even if you don't use the plans you will get a good idea about how to approach it just by reading them.

Good luck and happy building on whatever your choice is.
