4 Buttons, you must be a big fan of Mouse Trap (only vertical game that has more than 3)!

I would do one thing, pull the monitor back out, take the case off it and spray paint the front of the case black and then put the monitor back together, it will do a lot for the look of the cabinet,

I agree with paigeoliver, you need to address that monitor cabinet.

Here is a trick I've used instead of painting.  Use black electrical tape and lay it over the beige computer monitor.  Take your time and follow the curves of the monitor with one long peice per side.  Once you do this all around you will be suprised at how good it looks.  It sounds like a cheap, lazy way to do it but if you take your time it will come out really nice.

This works twice as well if you have smoked glass.

Your price seems kind of cheap, how can you make any money selling it for that?

I'ts a really nice cab it has to be worth more.

It's certaintly ideal for playing cube-ert!

Would look better with the monitor painted or at least covered with tape IMHO
