Exactly Dreamwriter, 8 buttons from the original X-arcade set up and 3 buttons for use with the trackball and two other wired on the player one for playing with the 4 ways joystick and spinner.
Thanks for your messages!

Hi theCoder,
Thank you for my english, I do what I can... ;D
The orignal wood is mdf, I've not use laminate because it's not really easy to transport and cut it. I've just paint the wood and use a dyeing with a brush for making a wood effect. The last step is to varnish four or five times for a nice finish.

Hello Dudebozo,
Yes, it's easier to have all the components accessible for the transport of the mamcecab, for cleaning, for upgrading and I have more space in the cab. All the bottom of the cab is free.
Thanks again.

yeah, that's kind of what i figured, having it all laid out for easy access, cleaning, etc. you bring up a good point about having the bottom open and free. i'm going to put in a shelf thing where i can put my xbox, ps2, and gamecube in there. my mame cabinet is going to basically be my all in one machine.
oh yeah, i like your idea of having the ethernet port and cable line in one of those face plate things. i have one where i have ethernet, cable, red white yellow a-v in (in case i need to hook up something else). great build
