Totally awesome cabinet! I love the artwork in particular. Have been looking for such a retro space theme myself for a long time now and think you hit it.

If I may, a couple of suggestions for improvement that I urge you to implement:
Integrate HAL !!! Rework the panel beneath the screen and build in the camera eye right in the middle. Also you may want to think about giving you PC the voice of HAL.
On top of that we need to create a special intro video that shows the famous transformation of the bone that the ape throws into the air, into a MAME Cabinet in the middle of space  :laugh:

Next, the monitor glass retention system was one of the more complicated aspects of the design.  Basically, there is a sliding piece of wood that pushes the glass up against another, fixed piece of wood.  It's hard to explain, but hopefully these diagrams will help:
