I was hoping to get some advice or ideas on mounting some controller ports on my cabinet.
Basically, on the front on my bartop I'm going to mount a SNES USB port (http://imgur.com/HimHgVk (http://imgur.com/HimHgVk)), two N64 ports by exension cables (http://imgur.com/1IsNz7v (http://imgur.com/1IsNz7v)), two PS1 ports, and then some USB ports. I'm struggling with how to make this look nice. I'm not the greatest woodworker so I worry then I cut or route the holes they won't look that good and I don't know how I'll "clean them up". I wish the ports were more like actual Nintendo 64 ports with had that flat overlay of sorts. This is the only thing I've found so far from a previous thread (https://sites.google.com/site/mikeyo1dog/projects/retro-nintendo-pc (https://sites.google.com/site/mikeyo1dog/projects/retro-nintendo-pc)) Any ideas on this?
Thanks!

Given your confessed woodworking skills and the number/variety of ports, you may want to consider getting a laser-cut faceplate from Laseriffic (http://www.laseriffic.com/) (pinball guys use their PETG products IIRC) or 3-D printed one from Shapeways (http://www.shapeways.com/).
