After taking probably about a 10 year hiatus from building any arcade related thing I started working on this about 3-4 years ago and then it got put on hold for a long time various reasons.
Built this with my brother Jon... we built 2 simultaneously so he has an exact clone at his house.
Finally approaching the final stages.
4 player panel. Lighted trackball, spinner, all lighted buttons, servo-sticks for players one and two. Custom artwork by Vlad from Gameongrafix who did an awesome job I think. We didn't do any sideart but it may be added in the future. Still need speaker covers.
Running Hyperspin as the frontend. MAME will be the main emulator with Commodore 64 and Astrocade being up there as well. A few others will also be included.
We are going to get the joysticks lighted as well... working on that as well as some software tweaking.
We have a 32 Samsung widescreen in there that looks amazing. Kind of went nuts with the audio... have a Logitech speaker system with a 12" subwoofer inside!!!
Here are a few pics.
Please excuse some of the sloppiness of some of the wiring... been making some adjustments and its been getting bullied around a bit. It will all be straightened out in the end :-)

Here's mine, just finished.
Aluminium control panel, clean & simple which is what I was going for. :)

Had a long think about mine to get the best coverage of all the game variations. Settled on this.
The 6 red buttons cover most games with the 2 blue ones doubling as left right movement for classic shooters like asteroids and galaxians giving the choice of button or stick for the purists.
The 2 blue plus the red next to it offer the 3 buttons required for track n field.
The blue nearest the stick being the defender thumb button for reverse.
