before i placed the keyboard were it was i used a blank piece of wood and thought it looked aweful by itself and felt that something should have been there. so i decided to put a keyboard there incase i wanted to surf the web or use it for administrative purposes. as well, this arcade box is more for parties and poker tournies more than myself. so i would like people to not be able to touch the keyboard. i guess i could have used a wireless keyboard and put an emblem on the wood were the keyboard is... hmm

anyways i felt i had to make the control panel set up that way because the trackball is soooo big and didn't fell that it was to uncomftable and just needed alittle time to get used to ounce its set up

tib0lt:

 :o  Awesome artwork! Maybe you should think about raising the Ghostbuster logo, it'll be a shame to drill holes through the face of the ghost.

Will definitely keep an eye on this one.

So I'm still confused. How do you access the keyboard?

Gamester:
New control panel looks good.  Seems much better ergonomically too.

Interesting design decision to put the coin button on top of the cab.  Seems like that might get annoying in the midst of a game for your guests to have to feel around up there to insert another coin?

Also, as I mentioned on the artwork forum, the art is looking good, but you may want to back off the transparency just a bit on the marquee lettering.  Looks like it says "GHOSTBUS ERS THE VIDEO"
