You know what - it's not that terrible. It looks basically like this man wants to play games first and make it look "pretty" or "authentic" second. And there's some charm to designing it with chalkboard (guessing) material.

And while the button spacing is not something I would do, the control panel is far from "cluttered" and he knew that a 'switchable' stick is a nice compromise to wasting space on a third stick. And the monitor actually fills the bay nicely (albeit a little big - but it doesn't look bad at all.) 

Honestly, if it looked dazzling with artwork and design, I'm sure people would just say "eh, he bought the thing at a store and modified it" so I can totally see why they chose this cabinet to feature.

For some reason, I actually kind of like it. :dunno

As opposed to the butcher job done below by so called "veteran retro gamers", the video above by Computerphile is a godsend.

I really hate to bash people for their work as I have little to no cab-worthy woodworking skills myself but stuff like the video below deserves some shaming. Might be time to start a crapmame video thread

No that's totally bashable. I've seen his stuff and this guy should know better. It would have been SUPER EASY to turn that back into a Centipede or at least preserved the cab's construction. But instead they cut it, stick an X-Arcade on there and paint over everything while singing and laughing. Not to mention, the opening of the video shows him using a blowtorch (??).
