I finally decided to get off my butt and post some pictures of my donkey kongish cab. It's pretty much completed and the only thing I will jack with on it in the future is the software. Oh yeah the pictures are large so if you on a 56k connection you might not want to look at them.

Cool! What's the story here - is it a conversion or built?
-
Looks like a converted neo geo to me.

Wrong, it's a converted redemption arcade machine. Used to be gray. Got it empty at auction for $20.

hey mike, how did you mount your CP? From the side, it sticks out a bit. I have something similar in the works...i was worried about support.

It's plenty strong. The top of the control panel, the side peices and the very front of the underside are all glued and nailed together. Then that like 2 inch peice on the underside which added a lot of support is connected to another peice on the underside with the original hinge. I had to take my dremel and slightly modify the hinge. So it still flips right open so you can get in and mess with the controls. The main problem I had with it was that it was front heavy. The original control panel and the one I built before the one that is on there sat back fine and didn't need anthing to keep them from falling forward. On the current one I added those little lock things for cabinet doors. So when you put it up it clips into place and stays.
