Game Gauntlet - DONE!... well mostly.
Flinkly:
if it was me, i'd do something creative with the bottom edge of that side peice of wood, like one of the earlier designs. i mean, if it's not going to go all the way to the bottom, why not make it interesting? it is still unique though, so you don't need to change anything...

I have never done it but I would think that if you sliced the "T" off of the back side for the duration of the radius, it should curve it nicely. Of course, you will have to make sure that when the "T" resumes, it will need to be pulled tight before being hammered into the slot.
Bottom line, I would perform a test with a small scrap wood piece cut to a similar angle and some T-molding you can afford to waste. If you're happy with the results, you have your answer.
Nice design ideas. Keep the pics and ideas coming. You're inspiring the masses.
Good luck

AceTKK:
Pixel got it right; the "multilayeredness" is what makes that design look so cool. The Mortal Kombat cabs have the same look and I've been toying around with a similar derivative too. Again, I wish I had your AutoCAD skills as most of my design work has been pencil and paper.
Something to keep in mind is that your cab will be extremely heavy with that kind of design. You basically have an extra half sheet of wood used for the concealed sides. That extra material, along with a full internal frame, might make the whole cab too heavy to move easily. That's less of an issue if the side panels are removeable.

I looked into buying someone else's mame cab.
