after doing some research i found 3 designs (give me some input)
the first with plans and everything (didn't know why i didn't think about it) the plans for jakobuds cab. I think its a little wide though, just a tad, his cab is based on a midway design (lusid's). If his cab looks good with his cp, mine should look just as good!
the second is a store bought arcades r fun mini-quad. sleek design, has all the goodies i want, cnc cut. My only cons are the curve of the cp, dont know if it will look good with the front "hump" of the mortal kombat cabinet. Second the price. They are giving a 10% of to byoac members,but still. I might give it to myself for my birthday (April 4Th

).
the third is try to duplicate Melarky's Arcade fever control panel.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64354.0 He made his on a virtual fighter cab (very similar to mine, they both have the hump in the front) I like how he followed the angle of the front of the cab (break out the protractor) I'm nervous that i will attempt to make a cp and i dint like the end results.
I could just leave the 2 player 6 button layout i have now and stop messing with my cab?
