Well done. The bezel actually turned out nicely. Don't worry about the stuff you can't see.

I just uploaded this as a reference.
In most early 1990 and on Namco arcade machines, they would have a voice say something at the initial boot up. In the case of Tekken and a few others "Good Morning" was used.
This is a sound clip from Tekken 1 and 2, Tekken 3, and Tekken Tag.
Uploading this since I couldnt find it anywhere when I wanted to add it to my arcade introduction, so i just recorded it myself
As far as the build goes: Im about 98% done at the moment; the cabinet is finished, just needs touching up, and my emulator list is over 40 with about 60,000 games, but need a couple more.
Finish pics and a video by next weekend hopefully.
Thanks for all your comments.

Very impressive... How did you go about getting all the roms and setting up the emulators with your control panel?

I had no clue George Takei recorded the third "good morning"!
:D

It just needs his little 'aAaahhhH..' in there.

Just had to go to each emulator and set up the inputs. Since CPs use keyboard interface boards, all I have to do is click which key I wanted to use. For example SW5 corresponds with Z, so If I wanted to use SW5 I just told the emulator that when I press the letter Z, I want it to emulate the A button.
As far as the roms.. ive been playing with roms/emulation since dreamcast was found out that it could run emulators. So since then ive collected a good size rom base. The whole MAME thing was new to me though, and im still not finished learning all about the different stuff regarding that, most noteably the update process, but im almost there. Obtaining them was just a lot of googeling and torrenting.
