Re did a lot of the artwork (thanks to mamemarquees and a nice fella on here named Nannuu).

So happy with how it turned out...



Have a lot more modules made too for the modular setup just haven't taken pics yet.
Been working on this thing on and off for over 4 years.  Yikes

Nice write-up on your website.  If you were to do it again, would you make the panel modular again?  Same for the rotating monitor.  The new artwork looks much better than what you had originally.  Great job.

Thanks!  If I were to do it again the only thing I think I would have changed was the style of cabinet I used.  I like the stylings of the old Atari cabinets.  As for the modular panel I wouldn't have it any other way.  It's so nice to be able to have the layouts and controls from the original games.  The rotating monitor also is great if you like a lot of the older games that were 19" and don't want to have a HUGE monitor to have a decent size vertical monitor.

I do think I may have done the rotating thing a little differently (and may still change it).  The way it is now it has a tendency to rock ever so slightly when the cab is jarred and shifts a little to the left or right.  The wheel just needs a little more friction I think.

I can't take credit for the awesome artwork other than having the ideas.  I have zero artistic ability.  Nannuu did a great job on the sideart and marquee.

EDIT: Seems I've been working on this thing for *6* years not 4.  Man does time fly...
