Storing replaceable control panels

Hey y'all,

If this is the wrong place to post this, feel free to move it - wasn't quite sure!! :)

When we initially set out to do our project, we thought about a rotating control panel, ala Frosty's or 1 Up's, even the Secret Aracde's design.  We decided as newbies, and talking with some of the guys that have been around a while, that we really didn't want to mess with that.  As the control top just attaches via velcro, it really isn't that hard to remove if we wanted to.

We also are doing this in order to have a nice flat control top for when we're just watching TV.  Question is has anybody else done this and how / where do you store them to protect the wiring on your panels with the joysticks, trackballs, etc.

I was planning to build a dowel rack for mine, before I switched to a modular system.

My plan was to have a series of dowels spaced at the right height to prevent the controls on one panel from hitting the next panel.

After going modular, I have MOST of my modules in a 2-drawer filing cabinet--right next to my cab.
There are all the other modules however.
My ultimate plan is to have a storage cabinet dedicated to holding all this stuff, once I finally get my "arcade" together.
I've got cabs spread out all over the house at the moment.

I put a [mostly] hidden door at the front bottom of my cabinet.  I'll be using pull-out drawers to hold my modular panels.

That's what I would like to do.  But, do you have a coin door?  If so, is the front of your cab completely taken up by the coin door & CP storage?
