It may be ambitious, but I am planning on building another Wine barrel cocktail cabinet, but this time using MAME with the option of having a juke box. The plan is to build a subwoofer in the base of the barrel and design swappable panels a la Doc's Modular panels.

I am planning on using a 19" monitor this time. The plan is a 4:3 monitor so it fits, but am wondering if I should be looking at a widescreen due to the 2 player split screen.

I never saw the first one, but I love the idea!

Bought two barrels (1 for mistakes or to sell later)...

But, this is the one I will be using:

Also, started cutting up the control panel. Decided that I am going to use a 22" widescreen LCD with 170° viewing angle. Barely room in the 22" top of the barrel, but I will make it work. I wanted a larger monitor and decided I wanted it to be widescreen due to the split two player action:
