You're possibly right, curves are trickier than angled bends, but it can be done.

its pretty easy to take out that control panel and build yourself a whole new panel, with a keyboard drawer underneath, then you can make switchable panels out of wood and have your 2 player joystick setup on one and trackball on another and you can always make more panels as you buy new controls(spinner, tron, etc). this is the method i have used twice now with older cabs, works like a charm and is always reversible when you want to change/refurb the cab. and it makes for nice clean uncluttered control panels. you can pics of one of these cabs on my site ( http://www.cosmicbreaks.com/arcade ) i should have some pics of the newest one in the next few days.

The arcade monitor on that cab is Medium. It doesn't look like a standard one. Alot of people will say that Medium Rez monitors are no good for Mame. Personally I think thats BS, I use a Medium rez one for Mame and like it alot better. If you need help with configuring it let me know.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm going to go with a control panel like gnateye's version 2. The cabinet didn't come w/ the monitor, so I'm going to use my old computer monitor, a 19" old, old beast.
