Kangum:
does it still spin with the doors open. the top half that doesnt open looks like its to low and in the way.

Yeah, that's the reason the doors need to open (to allow it to spin.)

The top is fine actually.
I have wiggle room by cheating and using the LCD's built in size/positioning settings to tweak the display if need be, but so far it doesn't need it. I'm totally happy with it thus far, I just need to create the control panel, etc.

Ritalin:
I forgot to include pics of the LCD in the horizontal format.
Here are some added pics:
1. LCD rotated in the horizontal format for horizontal games
2 & 3. Overhead shot of the slot cutout for the LCD rotation (I'll be adding black felt over this hole with a slit cut in the felt.
4. A Straight on pic of the LCD in the vertical mode.

NOTE: I hope purists won't be mad, but even though I'm going with a galaga theme for this, I will be painting it in Galaxian colors. That means black interior with white side panels and alien green t-molding for the sides. (Sides will actually be 100% artwork with white background)
I just really like the Galaxian color scheme, but I'll be sticking with all Galaga artwork for marquee, side panels, CPO, etc. Again, sorry purists, but I figure I've already created a rotating display with open doors, so purity was gone long ago.  ;D
