First cocktail in planning.....i hate planning

You have blatantly got to add an ipod docking station to that beast!
That is one seriously sexy looking cab! I would definitely roll with the lit space invader, that will look ---smurfing--- bonkers!
I reckon some ultralux buttons will look kick ass on that thing as the chrome surround will offset the white and tmolding nicely! Even the buttons you have on your "I build mockups for real and not in sketchup" will fit in nicely!
Sick, absolutely sick!
I love it how forums like this take it to the next level...

Thanks for the great comments, they really are appreciated :cheers:
Well i have managed to do a few small things to the 'mock-up'. I got the smaller alternate monitor installed, and decided to cut down the size of the top a bit cause there's nothing worse than a monitor that looks way to small for the machine. I have yet to get around to trying to fashion a bezel to fit the curved screen, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
I got a set a speakers that i thought should do a decent job after not being able to use the 2.1 system i had. I plan on painting the grill chrome, and possibly the speaker surrounds.....not too sure yet. I think the stinkest part about choosing my colour scheme is that there really is no place for black. It's not seen in the photo but the speakers have a strange reverse L type shape to them that means i had to cut out a hole in the main face in order for them to fit....no major.
I also got sick of using the keyboard when playing games, so i installed a few admin buttons to see if i liked the placement. They're not too bad but i think i'll move them further apart. On the player 1 side i plan to have a Menu, P1 start, Credit button, and on the player 2 side just the P2 start and Credit.
I have a few more thing to test out before i start the 'good-copy' but i think thing are starting to take shape

That looks so ---smurfing--- excellent!

Man if you had a nickel for every time i look at this post, youd have alot of dollars. I would like to make one of these would you mind sharing the dimensions when you get time? This has got to be the best cocktail ever.
One question though, maybe I missed this somewhere, but, will you have an acess panel somewhere (and where) if anything should need attention?

Try that it should fix the monitor.
