I think there might be a possibility that i may have to down grade the monitor size from 20.1" to a dell 19". In Google sketchUP the monitor seems to fit ok but in pratice it seems a different story, i wont know 100% until i have the CP in place however!
Another challenge i may come up against is fitting Player start and credit buttons on the front of the curved edge of the cab, not too sure how to go about it as they wont fit flush with the curved edge
On the topic of Dell monitor i shall be using Dell's sound bar as the speakers, as i have them on my Main PC monitor and they are great for there slim size and can power them from the dell aswell, so cuts down on another power cable inside the cab!

Hi Lettuce,
Your project looks really promising, you have inspired me to go the bartop route for mine also :)
Thanks for posting your pc specs - are the graphics onboard, or are you slotting a card in there somewhere ?
Would you mind posting your cabinet dimensions sometime ?
Good luck with the build - will let you know how I get on with mine - early days yet - I am compiling my shopping list at the moment !!
Cheers Pinguy

Yeah theres an Nividia 7100 onboard the mobo, so they should perform well enough, as mame is more about CPU than GPU power, something like 85/15 ratio
