Here's a pic of my completed MAME cab and CP. The control panel was quite hacked up as you can see in the second pic. I think it started out as a Konami cab of some sort, maybe TMNT, and was eventually converted into NBA jam. When I bought it it was just the cab, busted monitor, and NBA jam CP layout, no boards, joysticks and buttons had to be replaced.
Anyway, for the CP, I used the existing wood, bondo'd all the extra holes, and drilled a new 6 button layout for the middle two positions. Happ buttons and IL competition sticks for middle positions. The button layout is Hori and the colors I used match their Xbox 360 fight sticks as I also have an Xbox360 in there I can switch to. I also replaced the monitor with a 26" 16:10 LCD.

Just finishing up my first project the :applaud: "Biz Arcade" :applaud:

Photo 1: As an architect i must say always build a model first!
Photo 2: I used autocad for the 2D plans but you can use Revit for the 3D plans love that program :notworthy:
Photo 3: I used the printed plans for all the cuts and holes easyer then drawing on the wood itself.
Photo 4: Anarchy of wires muhahaha :angry: a lot of work it took to organize this mess.
Photo 5:Art work done by Tamar Zelig to look like an awsome electronic board. THANKS TAMAR! :cheers: :cheers:
Photo 6: the final result all the buttons have leds in them all connected to the pc for power, i also had a 2mm plastic laser cutted to protect the artwork and give the console and extra glossy look.
Thats all folks, my first project almost completed, already got plans for a few more. :]
feel free to contact me for questions or original console plans if you want to copy this one.
