It looks like you built an arcade cabinet to me.   And it looks pretty good from here.

I think you did really good. The marquee look a tad bit smaller then what I've been seeing around.

You could always make a topper for the unit and have a marquee in that.  Then you can either blank off the existing small marquee area or put a nice and detailed instruction card in there.

Looks like a regular stock fat boy arcade cabinet to me.  Looks like good quality too.  The marquee does look small but there's a lot of things you could do with that to up the cool factor.

yeah well originally I wanted to put one of the custom marquees from game on graffix but I don't think it will work/look good.
But I'll see how I go :) thanks mate
