Hi everybody, I'm new as some of you might realize if you look at my post count and I am very interested in building a MAME cabinet. I'm still in planing stages but I had one idea for the control panel.
I was thinking of placing a thin layer of plexi or lexan over the control panel and then around each button and joysick mounting pad add a bevel to the plexi or lexan. Then I would insert LEDs into the plexi or lexan to give a sleek glow where ever I beveled it.
I'm just wondering which of the two would be the easyist to give a bevel too, or if you know of another material that would give the same effect. Also if you think that this idea is a lost cause please tell me because I will then scrap it and use one of my other ones.
