Hidden Controls?

kelemvor:

I was also thinking of a rotatin thing.  Have one side finished that looks like normal wood.  Then you can spin it or rotate it down to reveal the controls and such

Lilwolf:

Whatever direction you go, make sure that they are secure.

wabbly control panels suck.  (the only example I can think of looked super wabbly... but couldn't confirm).



unclet:

It would be hard for me not to want to include a third side to a rotating control panel once you go through all that work to include two sides already ....



RayB:

There have been a couple coffee table MAMEs... one of which was featured in CrapMAME.


Doc Thirst:

I would think a simple box with a small detail-less drawer on each side.  The problem would  be keeping out of the way of the monitor.  If you are going for a 4-way set up, this is no problem as the CP will only need to be 6 inches or so.  I would also consider a paino henge on the front so you could fold down the front of the drawer where the controls are.  Sorry doing a lousy job of discribing this, if I get some time, pic to follow.
