actually... if you're willing to paint it...
MDF should have good painting results....
then you can save at least 2 pieces of laminate...
(that costs about $100 !!!...)
and spend like $20 on paint + brushes....
;)
s8n:
3/4 or 5/8 MDF and Lexan.
Howard_Casto:
5/8 inch will make your life a living hell if you wish to use real arcade parts. Unless you want to make a cap with only nintedo controls and t-molding then you really need to work in 3/4.
Also some notes about "real" wood. Plywood is workable and relatively priced. Vaneer is also workable but I wouldn't reccomend a solid wood. Why? Well real wood is actually weaker than plywood, it isn't as straight, and it has weak spots and knott holes which make cutting difficult. Just a few thigns to add. :)
