Since Im new to this forum ,and I needed some posts to send Pm to members. ☺
I thought it would be a good time to post my project.
I started the this project in August last year , And I thought I would have it done in a couple of days....
But with a wife who do not share the same arcade interest as me, plus two kids..
Time really flies by..
Here are some basic build pics took last summer.
I bought precut 14mm mdf, since I didnt have a circular saw

Looks like you are off to a good start.
When you finish it, invite your wife to a good game of Mario Bros (or whatever game she remembers playing as a kid), she will come around.
Good luck on your build, Im watching it.

My wife just kept looking at me sideways when I built my first Mame arcade. But I showed her that it played BurgerTime.
...then she made me build my own Mame arcade.

I decided to drop the woodpanel and replace it with metal instead.
The front door is finished, painted and covered with carbon film.
Forgot to wipe off the dust before the photo session.
Please ignore the spaghetti incident under the cp..

I was consodering a 22" rotating monitor inspired from Maximus's Marvel vs Capcom build When I stumble upon he's Marvel vs Capcom Revolution version 2.0
I had a 40" lcd screen laying around...so why not
