This yours? I'd be interested in more details.

Whats it made of? Is that t-molding? Why is there a 2x4 on the CP area?

Kinda cute :)

Personally I think 3bills is a little steep for this particular item, but Im definitely saving the picture for when I start #2, I like the design and a cabaret is in the running

Just my 2 cents and all, but... I think that thing is hideous.  :-\
Also looks pretty hard to put a control panel in, and for that price, there should be a tv/monitor shelf, and SOME type of control panel (undrilled or something)

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Its not that ugly but for 300 bucks its not worth it.  I know where I could get a nice fully working arcade game with 25" monitor for that much but I still think thats to expensive.

Lemme extrapolate (big word) the TOP is ugly. I don't like cabinets that look like they're in the army (buzz cut).
The top of a classic generic, everday arcade game is supposed to stick forward, darkening the play area on the screen from overhead lights, while at the same time, allowing for a convenienct place for a marquee.

This one just....Stops.

I don't particularly care for that type of cab, but it looks well built in the pictures. Not sure what to make of that "smells of amature" comment either.
