Even though you dont like me and bash around most of the time.
Not true, man
Yes it's scratch built. I will take pictures of the internals if you want me to prove it
I was originally aiming for the Midway design but then I found LuSid's cabinet and I 'loosely' based them off of that. I say 'loosely' because I definately had to make adjustments for my tv size. And the internal frameing of the cabinet is all custom.
The GIJoe font...I can't remember. I think

Can I put up some plans for my cabinet?? Well maybe....in the beginning of course I had the whole thing layed out on paper with perfect plans but ended up making many adjustments here and there on the fly as I was building.... I will try to put together some plans someday if enough people are really interested.
I didn't want to put a bezel on my tv because I actually really like the look of the TV. It's got this shiny brushed crome finish look to it and IMO I just dug it too much to cover it up. After making that decision, I also decided to use the TV speakers as the primary speakers also.
Yeah there is a very slight gap between my CP and my cabinet. I guess this just came from inperfect construction or something. When the top of the control panel is closed you can't see this gap at all. If people aren't going to see the gap then I wasn't too worried about fixing it. As long as the CP is secure on the cabinet I was satisfied.
My CP is roughly 42" wide, 13" deep, and 6" tall.
Oh yeah, and mkdevo, good eye on seeing that the joysticks are not equidistant from eachother. The reason I did this is because I wanted to space out all the joysticks based on the position of their corresponding buttons. 42" was already a hella wide CP and I wasn't about to throw in blank space between player 1 and 3 just to make it the same distance as player 2-4. Anyways, SmashTV feels absolutely perfect on this thing, no matter which player you are playing.
