Dynamo HS-9A Project - Street Fighter.......[Update 11-3-12]
mgb:
I agree, the 2nd one is great.
I also like the standard mvs theme.
TGov:
The more I am using this cab the more I like it. The slide out tray is genius!
TGov:
I have begun to plan the CP. I am running into some space issues due to the fact that the CP width is only 25.5" and I also want to have a trackball in there and a Neo Geo button layout. If I were to go with a standard Street Fighter layout it would all fit fine, but I am just not a fan of the ergonomics of that layout. Also, since I am going with the Metal Slug theme at this point I would really like to maintain the NeoGeo layout. I already have a Happ 3" trackball, but it is just going to be too big at this point. I am going to have to sell it and buy a trackball from Ultimarc as it has a smaller footprint due to it not needing a mounting plate. It even has a smaller footprint than the Happ 2 1/4" according to the dimensions I have found.
So, I have two options, either way I only have 25.5" of lateral space to work with for mounting things. As you can see on the mock ups below, the outlines of the 'footprints' of the various components are visible. The thing on the top is an Oscar Vortex spinner. It has a large footprint for what it is, but it s the best spinner and is more or less out of the way up top anyways. I have decided to not go with a dedicated 4 way joystick up top as it will just be too cluttered with it. I will just have to deal with 8 ways for the time being. I have an Omni2 switchable right now in my DK cab, but I am not a fan of the action it has. I might compromise and go with an Octagonal restrictor and hope for the best. A majority of the 4 way action will be for vertical games anyways and I have a dedicated cab for those.
The bottom image shows the a CP where the top board would sit on the side 'rails' of the cab. Similar to the awesome Space Invaders cab by Mr. Chek here on the boards. This won't give me any more room for the components, but it will allow the artwork to breathe a bit.
See what you think.

Swappable panels...
TGov:
I am not a fan of modular stuff, as you have to store the stuff not being used. ;)
I think I have it nailed down so everything will fit IF I use a Ultimarc UTrak trackball with it's smaller footprint. I will have to to a test print and mount the stuff to some cardboard to see if it is still too crowded, but I think it will work. I plan on using U360's for the joysticks as well.
