Prototype candy cab-wood hybrid, and design critique/ ideas or advice

Wow! This looks great (sorry about the prototype aspect)
So, do you have any plans for this? I could definately see building one! (I currently have a metal sega naomi cab that I got for cheap because my old cab had an issue, and have wanted to go back to a wood cabinet for a while, but hadn't decided on a cab style)
Also, would this fit a 27" benson? Its got the angle, so it looks like the back is probably ok (or might need a bit of an extension out the back).
Anyway, good luck!
Dr Zero:
That looks pretty cool! cant wait to see it finished.

I have thought about doing this type of project for a while now myself. Your prototype looked quite nice, but I would be tempted to change the style of the cabinet to something a bit less "massive", considering your planned use of an LCD panel for a display. Traditional Candy cab's used big CRT's, so they had to look like that. Your's doesn't.
So I guess what i am try to say is that if you aren't looking for that "traditional" look, think about what you can do to "sexy" up the design a bit, while retaining the sit-down functionality and control placements.
