Lol, no of course not. It was more that the question was for the Galaga/Ms-Pac shape explicitly. Anyway, one could easily change the sides a bit to look more like a Galaga/MS-pac shape. Nice plans BTW!

Unless you use like a 7 inch monitor, that is going to be hard to do, unless you just want the sides stuck on that don't go with the monitor position, even then it will look way to short and fat.

Why did you move the control panel up? The pointy bit in the side (where the CP is) should be at roughly the same hight as it is in the original version. Otherwise the control panel wont fit will it? Just slide the "pointy bit" down (lengthening the straight line of the front top) and maybe straighten the kickplate (I guess it will look silly at an angle if its so short). Or am I overlooking something why you moved it up?

I left it up, cause to me, it lost all looks of of the galaga/ms-pacman, and looked almost identical to Bishmasterb's side.  If you want them to really want the profile to remind you of galaga/defender/etc you really need the same profile as the original, and just have the side panels being a facade and not true indicators of where the control panel/marqueue/monitor reside.

These are optimized for 2 4x4 sheets to make it easier to take home.

I downloaded your bartop.dwg and bartop2.dwg, had no problems with the bartop2.dwg file, loaded right up in Autocad Lt 2002.  The bartop.dwg file however said that it was made in an incompatible version.  Curious if you used 2 different autocad programs to create the files and also what versions you used.  Might have found a person with a Water Laser CNC type setup that will help me cut these out.  His machine can accept a full 4x8 piece of material so the bartop.dwg thats not optimized for 2 4x4 sheets could be very useful.

sWampy:

Most of them I remembered to save as for older versions, a few I guess I forgot.  I can make you layouts for any of the sides optimized for 4x8 sheets, optimized in several different ways.  I have a program that optimizes for easiest cuts, fewest cuts, most board left over, biggest pieces left over, etc.

sWampy,
                 It would be super to get an autocad drawing for a full 4x8 sheet that I can open in AutoCad Lt 2002.  I also have access to Autocad 2006 and Autocad 2006 Lt.  I am hoping to get with a coworker of mine who has a friend with access to a water laser cnc deal, hoping to feed this .dwg file into it and have it spit out the parts cut and ready to assemble.  If you wish to attach that file to an email just send it to  butlerrodney@hotmail.com  I will also monitor this thread if you prefer to post it here.  Thanks for you time and effort.  If all this comes together I will try and gets some pictures of the whole process and post em.
