1UP Arcade is planning to sell full kits and cabinets!

Just an update:
Well, it's the end of February but I don't have my quote yet. There are two reasons for this: 1) I am scrambling to finish my home cab so I can bring it to work as a guinea pig starting this weekend. This will only benefit the upcoming redesign! :)
2) I am, well, redesigning the LOOK of the cab, as well as hopefully improving functionality. While this slows things down a bit, it will make the cabs cheaper down the road than if I just crank out the kits "as is" and have to pay the shop to reprogram the CNC for the new and improved cabs later.
I still intend to have the cabs in production some time in march, and we will hopefully have a quote from the shop within the next week, once the distraction of my home cab is gone... I'll be fixing it up until Friday, then it is what it is, and I'm on to the new cabs.
I am working right now to make sure that the Tron sticks can stay in the mix, and I also have some much bigger surprises in the works...let's just say that there may be more than just the basic cab to choose from for those who want something a little more fancy! ;D

As for the keyboard drawer question above..
If you REALLY want the kick ass super setup... there are $40 (probably cheaper now) RF keyboards that would be a great addition.
Nice little addon so people can go 100% without opening the cab.
You might also consider adding a network plugin on the back at some point when selling it with a computer. Really a useful touch.

I am working on a keyboard solution. As far as networking, I routed a slot down from the top edge of the back kickplate to allow my power cord to exit the cab. It is more than large enough for a couple extra cords: network, gamepads, keyboard whatever you want.

1up,
"let's just say that there may be more than just the basic cab to choose from for those who want something a little more fancy!"
Perhaps you cant, but can you elaborate at all on the "fancier" cabinets? That is perhaps what I would be looking for--very curious to see what surprises you have in store and I like the idea of updating the look. Any clues or hints? Cant wait to see what you have in store. Keep up the good work.
