Welcome!  :cheers:

Martijn's Marvel Vs Capcom ran a PS3 and is a beautiful design.
EDIT: looking at the thread again, he switched to a jtagged xbox360

The 32" screen would be too big for my taste.
I have a 27" screen about the same distance away and I wouldn't want it any bigger.
Other people don't have a problem being close to a big screen, so it's your call.
If possible, do a test setup on top a table to see if you're ok being that close.

Consider using seimitsu buttons with PS3 labels on the inserts.
Here are the xbox ones I did and a template/instructions to make your own,

I will be running a PS3, xbox 360 and PC all in the same cabinet. I have two ps360+'s and a four port kvm switch. I could run a dreamcast, but my PC runs the emulator fine.

Hi Brian, maybe in the future i buy a xbox, i'm not so good in electronic. Step by step, your arcade cabinet must be a muscle cabinet  ;D
