Thanks guys. I started messing with CPWiz and I think I have gotten the hang of it. CPWizBiz, on the other hand is going to take some serious learning to get it set up with all systems.
Aesthetically, I don't think I will be building the screen *into* the control panel (under the plexi) per se...I will need a reasonably large screen, as the instruction card is rather complex.
I am think of building something in a similar vein to the Atari showcase control panel (or even using one if I can find it cheap) with a rear panel that contains speakers and a center screen. (Note, the machine I will be putting it on is a showcase cabinet, albeit a Dynamo).
