Custom Galaga Cabinet for my father
TalkingBull:
I did that earlier. I like the way it looks... I noticed the arrow and text problem around the joy and plan on putting up and down arrows as well as removing the text.

That looks like it should be pretty sharp. I think it would be pretty slick if you ditched the "Midway Mfg" info on the bottom and put something else on there. Like, maybe something your dad always says "If you ain't gonna do it right" type slogan or maybe a "Made by YOUR NAME for his dad"
Neverending Project:
Looking good.
If you are looking for some more ideas, did you see my Galaga themed bartop? Similar shape, similar artwork...
TalkingBull:
Yeah, I saw yours when I was in my planning stages. I actually ripped off your background and incorporated it into the GameEx Theme I am building. I think I also took some images from your grafx but I don't recall for sure. The overall size of my cab looks to be much larger than everyone else's but that's more to do with the monitor (19")
TalkingBull:
Well I am pretty much finished with the whole thing. The contruction is complete but I still need to route it for T-Molding so I can't pain it yet. I ordered the CPO and Marquee but haven't decided on the sideart (Cost). I went with a black border for the bezel to cut costs as well. Yesterday and today has been spent mostly getting the software up and running. I can't get the damn disclaimers to go away for some reason though so that has been pretty annoying. You may notice the marquee (Temporary paper) says Halaga. That's because my dad's name is Hal and well... you can figure out the rest.
Some more pix of the build as well as my daughter playing Frogger with about as much skill as a 98 year old blind woman.
All the construction pics I took are at Picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/JonathanHKantor/PopSGalagaCabinet#
