Some artwork would push this cabinet over the top. Looks like you spent a bundle already, but any plans for art?

Thanks! Like I mentioned, it's a bit raw right now. I still need to add all of the graphics. Side art, control panel and bezel. I tried stenciling the side art, but that turned out to be an epic fail. Stencil came out great, but my adhesion skills are lacking. Can anyone recommend a reputable vinyl graphics guy? In the top of this post I have some samples of overlays and stuff I was designed up

You did mention that. I just assumed that since it's playable...

The problem is finding an ultra-wide display with the width your cabinet requires. A few people already know about those "mirror LCDs". A lot of them are 800xRGBx240, but only 10.2" with composite video inputs.
They would be perfect for a small desktop cabinet (especially if someone could hack it to accept a DVI signal) but not for a cabinet like Defender.

Can multiple displays be hooked up at once? It would most lilely be expensive (additional video cards) and there would be at least three verticlal lines visible from the bezels...

Since it's only a marquee, even a low-bandwidth video card on an old 8-bit ISA bus would probably suffice.
The best solution for the multiple-LCDs-for-the-marquee idea is probably going to be a video splitter, which would appear as an ultra-wide videocard to the computer and split the image itself to the multiple monitors. I think ATI (ahem, AMD) has (had?) such products.
