I would not even know how to begin doing a panel from scratch, you mean just remove the top holding the buttons and stick and have a new top done? I actually have an old NBA jam CP cabinet I could use for the base if the CP. Or should I just buy one like this http://www.mameroom.com/ProductDetail.asp?ID=CLASSICCPKIT That wouold be an expensive way to go though... :banghead: |

i covered my monitor with plexiglass, i masked off the screen area and spray painted the back side of it black, which made it look really nice. as for the panel, it is easy to make a new one... you could use a flush trim router bit and use the old panel as a guide to cut out the new one. then just mark and drill your button holes where you want them. ( 1.5" center holes is standard spacing i believe) |

Can you use a drill? That will be the tool you use, other than a saw to cut out a rectangle of wood or MDF. |

Well I guess drawing up the plans would be my main concern, I'd most likey screw it up I'm sure. |

cutting out a rectangle is pretty easy...plus if you made your own panel and the buttons were closer together, that would allow you to move the p2 joystick to the right a little more to give you a little more elbow room. all you would really need to make a new panel is a drill, 1 1/8" spade bit or forstner bit, and a circular saw or something to cut a straight line. trust me...if i can do it, anyone can |
