I like this style more than the other one!

The cab gives me a modern arcade style type of idea, when street fighter iv for PC/console comes out. i will definitely will play it are your machine ;D
will you intergrate the controls of the consoles somehow to the control panel?

Not sure how Im gonna do that yet. I can probably rig some adapters for the older consoles like the dreamcast & PS2....but I'd have to wire directly for the 360 controllers. Not sure yet.
Got a question for you guys about the type of cabinet. I'm leaning towards the Lindbergh style still.....but then I found this:
Its....so......pretty....
As for building a box for the monitor/tv. I think I might be able to just take the television apart, then sand and paint the casing to match the rest of the cab. Would be alot easier than building another box for it....and will save on heating/cooling issues for the TV. LCDs get warm quick. All I'd have to do then is mount the Marquee box to the back of the case instead of the monitor box.

Yeah I'm kinda leaning towards the Vewlix as well....because I found a set of PDF plans for it. There's a guy in france I believe whose building one out of wood and he posted his plans up in their forum. So I snagged them.
Gonna take a while to convert all those measurements to standard english.
Gatsu:
jeez...I am so torn on choosing a design for the cabinet.
I like the sit down ones.....but I saw a Mortal Kombat 1 cabinet that just made me drool.
I've got a 27" color tv that could go into an MK cab, and the joysticks and whatnot already. Just need the wood and the artwork.
Would anyone happen to have a set of plans for an MK 1 cabinet that they'd be willing to share? And what size screen goes into it?

Oh friggin sweet! Thanks man.
I got one more question for anyone thats put together or owns an MK cabinet. Is there any way I can squeeze a 27" television into it?
I've been looking around in the iwanta ads and in a few stores....and I haven't really found a 25" tv anywhere.
Maybe see if I can find a 25" lcd....although that would be hellaciously expensive. And hard to get one thats not widescreen.
