Yes.  Like speaker grill, malleable. 

Cheers!

Aesthetically it looks fantastic, although I'm wondering how dirty it will get over time with all the nooks and crannies in there.  Either way I love the way it looks!

No Cheetos, orange juice, be the game, all about the games beer on the side.  Will come with a Sharpie to color errant and stuck crumbs.  (Thought about sealing it, still mulling it over.)

Judging by the description and pics so far, I'm looking forward to this build.
Do not let me down. :)

Some assembly required.  Been working on a book lately so this project has been slowly creeping along.  I routed the edges and laquered the side panels and wrapped the mesh around some of the other panels. 

Enjoyed my other cabinet.  A couple of pictures.  She's so alluring...

Been some time, project is still burning.  [Sidetracked by a pinball machine and building a Visual Pinball Cabinet and my book "Flash the Firefly"]

Thanks for your support.

Worked on getting the cabinet together.  Design is tight and with the wrapped mesh, even tighter.  Added some washers to space the sides and give enough room/clearance for the control panel and back panel [open]. 

Although adding the clamps to the control panel, they should be accessible through the back, with components placed.  Power, AM1I, Video Card [For marquee], HD, Power strip and the plethora of wires.

19" LCD Monitor.  Will order the glass this week.  For marquee and main monitor/action screen.  Will be going with tinted tempered glass without tong marks, like my other arcade cabinet.  76% light gets through, if I remember.  One-Day Glass is the vendor out of Vancouver, WA.  I know, I'm in New York.  We are freaking ++$10 and ++$20 on everything here.  They gave me a good price with shipping.
