Hi All,

I have been a lurker here for quite some time.. you know stealing ideas and such.  :)
I have finally finished v1.0 of my Arcade Cabinet, the Ghost in the Machine.



Here is the Short list of Features...

“Doc Like” Modular Panels using Velcro for easier fabrication
4 Player capability
Side Lit Etched Acrylic CP Art
Lighted Controls (So you know they are Plugged in!)
Laser Etched Acrylic Marquee with Luminglass Accent
Lighted “T-molding” (okay so its NOT really T-molding but held in place by it) 
2.1 Sound System
Custom Lighted “Twisty Grip” Joystick
Custom Lighted Spinner
Parallel Port Controlled Automatic Rotating Display built with easily sourced parts (and therefore anyone can do it)
Padded Wrist Pads
Removable Top for Play in the Home Theatre (and to make it easier to move)
Flat Surfaces upon which Drinks, cups and food can be Placed!
Ambient Backdrop Lighting
Storage Drawer for Modular  Panels

I haven't yet put up a website for it, but you can link to a PDF of what will be basically the same content

Here are some picts with the Lights Off and the Flash On, so you can see every imperfection in the finish I put in there. Mostly the problems are on the top of the CP- you can already see where my kids have started to scuff it. In v.2 I will have to put some t-molding or another lighted bumper there...







And here are the rough measurements from the initial design.. 2 inches per square...



Again, a special thanks to everyone here who helped.. even if they didn't know they were doing it :>)

DaOld Man:
I agree, excellent work!!  :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
But, please more pics! I am especially interested in your rotate mechanism, since Im working on one..

I tried to open the link you posted, but it's asking me to sign in..

Portnoy:
Lighted T-molding. Now I've seen it all. That's the best part about this forum. That last statement is never true.  As long as your addicted to oxygen and on this forum you will never see it all!! Great job and yet another project inspiring me to get past my coin door restore.
