The JAM Project with Stool

JONTHEBOMB:
Hello,

The JAM project stands for Jon's Arcade Machine Project.  As some of you may know I'm working on my first cabinet at John Marshall High School.  I am using LuSiD's Arcade Plans with a modified width to make my cabinet a little smaller (22inches instead of 26inches).  I started out planning on three sheets of plywood with an oak veneer.  Once the cabinet is finished I will stain the whole cabinet.  Here are some pictures of the woods shop.

JONTHEBOMB:
The first picture is a 70 year old band saw that has a blade longer then 9 feet.

The second picture is the table saw where I made the majority of my cuts.

JONTHEBOMB:
The first picture is a stack of all my pieces cut out ready for assembly.

The second picture is showing the groove for the T-molding I did with a router on the arcade cabinet sides.

JONTHEBOMB:
What's inside the cabinet:
- a U3100 Well Garner 19inch monitor
- a 19" CGA Happ Vision Pro Monitor with Universal Frame
- two Sony X-Plod Speakers with a Sub Woofer
- a Happ over and under coin door
- a Smart Strip
- a computer
        specs are: AMD Sempron 2200+, 256MB of RAM, 120 gigabyte hardrive, ATI Radeon 9250, and a sound blaster card.
- debating on whether to throw my xbox inside too. 
Edit: At this time I'm not going to put the xbox in the cabinet.

The control panel is made up of:
- a IPAC2 encoder
- two Happ perfect 360 joysticks
- a Slikstick Tornado Spinner
- a Happ translucent blue trackball
- many clear pushbuttons, and a few colored ones
I plan on using Buddabing's LED controller to light up my control panel.

Update: Feb. 13 2006
I now plan on some how rotating my monitor.  I probably will go with something similar to Mr. Salty's rotating monitor plan.

Below is the control panel design I plan to go with.  Any constructive criticism is welcome.

JONTHEBOMB:
First picture is everything I have for my cabinet so far.

Second picture is the base of my cabinet completed.
