I am interested finding a nice color combination and remember that there are some really nice black/blue cabniet styles out there which looked sharp.     I tried going through the Example's page to find some example cabinets but I dislike having to go to every website to simply see a picture of the cabinet.   

Perhaps people can post any nice black/blue cabinets (owned by you or not) which you have encountered so I can see how the color shades and combinations.

Thanks

Heres mine, not finished yet.  Yes I know black and blue has been done way to much but it just looks nice.  I laminated mine.

Here's one of mine - it's actually blue stain on cabinet grade plywood but you can't tell from the pic.  The grain patterns are very visible on the thing up close and it looks great (I don't mind saying!):

I always thought something like mine in blue would be nice:



Hope you don't mind the non-blue pic  :)

jfunk, that's awesome. javeryh, I really like yours too.

My cab is black, but it has both a red and blue theme to it. I'd like to see more cabinets that are painted in blue and green though.

Lew, I like those neon circles on the side.....not very "authentic arcade", but extremely cool none the less...

Isn't the top one Knievel's? Or at least one using Knievel's plans? Yes Lew, certainly not well known :laugh2:

Yeah, the top pic is Knievel's Neon MAME. It was probably the project that gave me the most inspiration to go ahead and build my cab.

See the website for my cab:

If you're really hot for the blue/black theme, it doesn't get much better than Knievel's NEON MAME, though...  I've admitted it before, Knievel's work is what influenced my color choices.
