Began it's life as an Atari Tetris mini cabinet. The monitor died a few years ago, but I always hung on to the cab.
Control panel is custom from 1/2" plywood and uses a 3" Happs trackball connected via Optipac & serial to the PC. Sound system is a Logitech sub and 4 surround sound satellites that are hidden behind those grills. The grills are from a Phillips boom box. I used those because the Logitech grills are not flat and wouldn't sit flush. So those grills hide the holes in the cab where the satellites are mounted. Subwoofer sits outside the cabinet. The speaker controls are mounted on the bottom under the PC.
Uses a 17" PC monitor with BNC cabling and runs on XP with Arcade Jukebox, which is what the customer wanted. Sounds totally kick-ass. On the top of the cab above the monitor is a USB neon tube that can either pulsate to the music or stay on solid blue.

Hey Peale,
The cabinet and PC are spray painted with a black granite texture paint called "Stone Creations" by "American Accents". It can be found in Home Depot or Lowes and comes in various finishes. I also used a clear enamel sealer on the control panel after painting. The paint was requested by the customer, and I think it turned out pretty nice.
