I want to add a few things

first, it isn't entirely finished. the controls are exposed from below, and I intend to cover them, but I have some minor bugs to work out first.

I'm sure others are wondering... Are you married? If so, how'd you manage to get the green light on something like this?

LOL, it was easy! My girlfriend plays it more than I do!

the only hard part about the project, was devoting this huge tv to it. at first, the tv sat out in the hallway, blocking traffic, on the back stairwell, but basically out of sight, out of mind.  when I finally decided to carry it up the rest of the stars and test it out, the picture was so bad that we didnt want to use it. - however, once I fixed it, the picture was great, and my girlfriend(Tory) started using it in the back room to watch movies and stuff off her computer. we Have 3 other Tvs, but they are all smaller. 21, 25, and 27.
I could have used one of those for the mame box, but by the time Tory started uysing this monster for her movie watching pleasure, I had allready constructed the base around it.  I wanst going to change that.

my solution:
I got her a video card that would output over svideo and popped it into her machine back there. that way she can watch a video in theater mode (outputs video in full screen to tv, but on the monitor she can be doing other stuff).
this worked out great!

Ironically enough, she really does play the arcade more than I do.  I want to play mortal combat and stuff, and shes playing bubble bobble and other girly games.... GRUMBLE...

here is a pic of Tory taken after two coats of poly :)
