So, right now, I have an ancient motherboard sitting atop the 99% completed cabinet, running 2 of 142 Windows updates. I'm pretty stoked that my first bartop commission will be completed very shortly!
My only trouble right now is with the vinyl stickers - they didn't stick properly the first time I had attached it, so I used some spray adhesive to stick them down... ...but now, about 1/4" around the outside edge is lifting. I guess I'll be pulling back a bit of the sticker, and using some good old-fashioned wood glue to get it sealed around the edge.
As it is, I hope to have it completed in the next few days, and will definitely post up some great pics and a gameplay vid as well!
Stay tuned!

Looking good Rick! I'm glad you've almost got it completed. Unfortunately mine has halted, we purchased a house and I've been doing some major renovations before we move in a couple weeks. I'm hoping to get back to it mid April, as my wife is 3 months pregnant and I'll need to finish it before the baby.
Rick:
Thanks guys.
I'm getting there ... SLOWLY! I have a seemingly endless list of stuff I have to/want to finish:
- Glue up the t-molding on the face pieces (Stupid me, I forgot to cut channels into the front of the top and the marquee pieces, so I've resorted to trimming off the channel piece, and gluing/clamping the pieces on.) - IN PROGRESS
- Reconfigure the motherboard I have here (PS/2 keyboard only, grrrr) to work with DirectDraw properly. Somehow, the DirectDraw 3D setting is hanging the system. Thanks, Windows XP. What you give me in performance over Windows 7 (which WORKED) you take away in functionality. - IN PROGRESS
- Clean the plexi. There is a rogue eyelash in between the plexi and the monitor that dances around with the static electricity. At least I hope it's an eyelash. ;)
- Use marker to colour the insides of the trimmed bezel piece black. I had it printed on white paper, and you can see where I made my cuts a bit too well.
- Glue, clamp and screw the monitor mount in place PERMANENTLY. It's fit in there right now, and it's a nice, tight fit, but I don't want it to move EVER once it's in place.
- I've already soldered up the power switch to the mobo, and now I have to desolder/resolder the power cable to the new smart power bar.
- Once everything above that is done, it's final installation time. PSU, mobo, hard drive, speakers and lighting get installed, and we play us some games!
