Printing artwork
SirPoonga:
Hmmm. That's an idea.
Might just have to do that.
I'm planning on doing something in glowire on my cabinet. probably not as much detail as the following pic but it's a start (artist rendition [hehe, called myself an artist])
See links.

I'm looking to get images printed out for my cabinet too. I need them all, a marquee, bezel and side art. But unlike you I can get them printed on a proper printer for free. ie: lightjet and arizona. But I would suggest to call a local printing company to get them printed they will look much better. It should be reasonable if you set the image up correctly for the printer. Don't go with kinkos they do crappy printing. You want good images printed on vinyl. It last may longer. And for a marquee you need someone with a printer like a light jet so they can do back lit images.

Hot damn!

In Photoshop, you would set guides at whatever interval you can print (like 8 x 10.5) then turn on "snap to guides" then use the marquee select tool to select one "panel". The print dialog has a "selection" radio button.
Then you just trim it and glue it. I make tiled maps sometimes.
