Constructive criticism:

Move the buttons on the side up so you can rest your hands on the sides of a CP like a pinball machine instead of having to hug the machine.

Paint the two red areas in the front black or cover them with the carbon fiber stuff you used elsewhere.  It will improve the appearance.

Make a mesh speaker grill area angled from the bottom of the marquee toward the bezel glass.  It will help eat up some of the real estate above the monitor.
An instruction sticker along the bottom of the bezel glass would do the same for the bottom.

One of the things that makes this cab look off is the lack of a contrasting t-molding color.
It does't look like you used t-molding, but if you did, consider redoing it in some other color.

My opinion:

I'm sure people who have never seen a MAME cab before think it's awesome.
The fact that you came in expecting BYOACers to be impressed tells me that you haven't spent any time looking at the other cabs on here.

When I first came accross this site, I thought I'd throw together a cab the following weekend.
Then I looked through the "Hall of Fame" thread for ideas and a voice inside said
"you are not ready"

It will play the games the same as most other cabs. (except pinball  :P  )
Enjoy it.

EDIT: oh, I see you've added your own cab to the hall of fame thread.  ::)

I like it the way it is..
It's nice. I like all the relistate around the screen. I like how the black runs up the cab like a stripe. And I like the black meshy stuff you used, it's nice, what is it exactly?
Good job man!
You should be proud!
