Holy crap!  Awesome job!!!  Looks like a very clean build.  How did you come across the old Popeye cab?  I've been trying to find a Nintendo cabinet to convert to a DK but I'm not having much luck. 

Also, how did you apply the paint?   :cheers:

Thanks so much!

One of my friends had too many projects, So he said i could have the empty cab.

I just used a foam roller from lowes.

The paint is Radiant Red from lowes also.

Thanks again ..

Fantastic build!
I'm very glad you posted the pics on how you mounted the monitor on the MDF. I have a very similar monitor and was afraid that mounting it like you did the MDF would give out and the monitor would rip right off!
Is the shelf on the bottom of the monitor helping to support the weight of it?

Thanks for the compliment!

No actually the shelf is not supporting the weight.

it was already in the cabinet.

I just move it down a bit, Because it was in the way.

Actually the MDF is stronger than you think.

Looks Great to me, dont know how anyone could even tell it wasnt the real deal just by looking.  Hiding the admin buttons was a great idea.  The repair work on the corners appears to have worked out very well.  Always liked the nintendo cabs, feel pretty silly for selling the Donkey Kong I had.
