New here, starting a build

It's been a while since I've logged in. Those are some nice suggestions for the coin button but I've actually decided to go against the coin button altogether. Reason being, I'm going to be storing other game equipment like controllers and such inside of it since my box is so big and it would be a PITA to run wires that long back to the door as it's a BIG door that swings outwards. It's kinda hard to describe so I'll just give you my progress pics up to this point. Here we go:
and finally, the control panel art
Like I said in the first post, I'm basing the entire art style off Aqua Teen Hunger Force all the way down to a customized version of the maximus arcade skin that mirrors the look of the cab.
I'm using a keywhiz for my keyboard controller, 2 perfect 360 joysticks and your standard happ pushbuttons. Cherry switches for player start, coin and admin, micro leaf switches for the action buttons all of which I already have. I'm just waiting on the CP overlay to arrive from Scott over @ mamemarquees and then I'll be able to pop holes in the CP and get to wiring.
If I get the CP overlay on wednesday, I've got 2 off days to get the wiring done and I should be finished with it by saturday, or at least, it will be semi functional so I can start programming the keys and such for different games.
Sorry for not posting is such a long time but I really haven't had any questions. I found a neat little button at the top of the forum that says "search" on it which has pretty much kept me from needing to ask anything, really.
Let me know what you think.
Later,
Dave

Got an update on the Quad Laser for ya. I've mounted a shelf insde the box so I can put stuff on it. It has an empty space underneath the shelf so that when the subwoofer sits on it, it will create a nice boomy effect. Also, I've got the bottom of the control panel mounted and I'll probably be putting the door on it tomorrow. Then I can sand it down and repaint it.
And here's another pic from the side
Also, I got some really nice high resolution printouts from some of the other characters on the show. I've got the Mooninites ship, Master Shake, Carl, Frylock and Meatwad printed on semi-gloss crack n peel material. These will all go on the front when I get it mounted and painted.
That's it for this update. I'll keep you posted when new stuff happens.
Later,
Dave

More updates, more pics.
I've got the front of the CP and the top of the CP on now and I've got my sweet CPO here. It's currently sitting inbetween two boards to make it nice n flat. I'm going to get the holes cut in the top of the CP to mount the hw in now. I'll post more pics soon.
