First step, laying out the screens and the basic dock. The dock itself is only 14" deep keeping the footprint as minimal as possible.

Main screen has a custom 4:3 resolution, rotated 90 degrees in Windows. This allows true 4:3 and a 34" play area without the cabinet being overly wide.

Up on it's feet, testing the basic layout of the docking cabinet. CoinOPs looks great and takes away a lot of pain when it comes to setting up a new cab like this, as long as you are happy with their curation of games.

A quick video of attract mode.

As this cab will be the last one I add to my bar, I wanted to make sure it fits in with the general Movie and Gaming vibe of the room. Instead of doing the traditional cabinet face, I decided to use the space to display goodies that make the whole thing a little more fun.

Black paint on and mahogany stain for the shelving area.
