Ummm... is there supposed to be a big hole (space) in the back of the cabinet?

That's a good idea, but that's not what it is for.

It doesn't really matter if you put a back on or not.  My double Draogn II cabinet has a back door on.  actual arcade had them on for security, etc.  No back does help keep the computer cooler with air flow throught he cabinet.

lusid:
There were originally two reasons for the space in the back.

1.  I didn't want to install a fan

2. I didn't want to buy another sheet of wood.  ;)

But with it there I can reach the back panel connectors on my TV if I have to, which is a nice plus.

More than half my real arcade games don't have backs on them. And I wouldn't run a vector game with the back on under any circumstances (you do not want those monitors overheating).
