What upright cabinet kit do you recommend?

I build the UAII from looking at the pictures on the site alone (no kit, no plans, just looked at it.) and I am extremely happy with the design, and overall effect of the system.  It is by far the  "coolest thing" anyone in my circle of friends own.  I am actually a fan of how the UAII looks.  Although it doesn't look like the other arcades, I will say that it is part of its appeal.  It has a HUGE monitor (27" D9200 in mine) and looks "full".  I hate the arcades with the big fronts and the tiny 17" computer monitors in them.  Mine actually doesn't have much room inside like others have stated.  I have room for a full size ATX case, but that is about it.  I don't even have room for an 8" subwoofer (wish I did!)  Anyway, that is my 2cents! GET THE UAII

Just wanted to thank everyone for their input!  I have gone ahead and purchased a UAII kit.  I'll post my experiences and satisfaction with it after it arrives and I put it together.

Not sure what I'll go with monitor-wise.  I've seen the comparision chart from Oscar Controls (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/monitors.shtml).  I'll probably start out with either a 21" computer monitor or a 25/27" flat screen tv.

wow, must have the money, i felt the uaII kit with the cut panel is WAY too expensive for me.  Well, it probably wouldn't be, if i didn't start checking out their site and thinking of buying them back when they were $350 including shipping.  but i guess you snooze you lose, so im gonna end up building my own uaII
hulkster:
yeah dude, kits are retarded.  you can get the plans for free from like 3000 people on this board.  all you need is a saw and some mdf and you are good.  maybe a few buttons and joysticks, but other than that....your kit is home depot!

Easy hulkster,

To each his own.  This might be the better solution for him/her.  Good luck and let us know how it turns out
