Kneivel,
Nice job! As always, a very sharp design and the build quality looks superb!
Let me offer some constructive criticism. Or more accurately, just a differing view on the LCD and slim cabinet. I'm not a fan of either.
1) Slim cabinets: To me, they just appear badly proportioned. Is 6" of available depth really keeping people from building or owning arcade cabinets? I can't imagine that affecting many people. Most of us have plenty of room for several games. I'm sure the weight is a little less, but from the cabinet design alone, the difference would be pretty minimal. Using 5/8" ply versus MDF in 5/8 or 3/4 is probably a more significant weight difference. I don't see the slim cabinet as much of advantage, if any at all. Even with an LCD monitor and as many parts in the bottom as possible, I still see the design as a tipping liability, versus traditional cabinets (most of which have no tipping tendency).
2) LCD displays: Weight savings, sure. Even with the price of LCD's falling though, it's hard to get a display size comparable to many CRT's (25-29" tubes). Larger display size makes the viewing angle better for multiple players (further distance from monitor+larger display=smaller angle, preferable with any display type). Size is only one consideration, and in a more classic styled cabinet (like a 19" vert) the difference in size is a non-issue. I could go into the details of why I don't like their appearance, but it's sufficient to say that LCD's don't have an arcade-authentic look.
