What are you looking for exactly?  Layouts?  Measurements?  Step by step?

Sorry to hijack the topic, but I am also looking for some plans for 4 player control panels if anybody has any.

(and topic creator, mameroom.com has the 4-player ultimate arcade II cabinet, which I am basing my design off of. It's pretty good and you can buy templates and pre-cut kits for it)

Or, if you would rather not pay for plans, here's at least measurements to base your cab off of:

However, I do hear that the mameroom.com plans are extremely well documented, if you are looking more for step-by-step instructions...

I recommend you build the 6 player X-Men...

Just search the project announcements section, there have been a ton of 4-player cabs built.

It's essentially the same as a 2 player.  If you've got the project arcade book, those plans'll do fine.  It accomodates a 27" TV, which is one thing that you'll need.  The other is obviously a larger CP.  And certainly you could at least modify the dimensions yourself to make that.

At least, this is what I did for my four player.  home.fuse.net/hypernova

I forgot about the 6 player x men, that would be nice, I have a loft above my garage that will be dedicated to gaming and i guess i could go 6 player. I was initialy going with a 33" monitor, but if possible, i have a 36" sony Grand Vega with didgital inputs I'd like to use. I posted about it in the monitor forum, but havent got any replies.
