Just anouncing that there are some new pictures of my cabinet online. Just about done! I have the control panel wired, the monitor shelf installed and the bezel cutout and ready to be installed. Should be complete in just a few days! My website is:

The link shouldn't have the / on the end.
Btw, looks nice but why did you place the monitor so low. Are you planning on having a larger screen a bit later on? Seems strange having such a large space above the screen but that's just my opinion.
Keep up the good work
Cheers

I did it that way for a few reasons:
1) It was at a better eye level for me when I'm sitting down. (It will be used for things other than arcade games).
2) That way the bezel wouldn't have to have a bottom, the screen itself would be the bottom. My monitor's bottom is shapped rather oddly, and it would be difficult to cut.
It does look a little low, but I think once the whole bezel is painted black it will blend in a little more with the monitor and not look so odd.
I appreciate the input, it's always good to get some feedback.

looks nice, but it was hard to find the link on your website. :)

Yea, sorry about that. I just kind of threw the cabinet page together. I will make it much easier to navigate/faster loading shortly.

Yeah, the link is http://www.classic-game-remakes.com/cabinet.html (http://www.classic-game-remakes.com/cabinet.html) for those who (like me) had trouble finding the darn thing.

Ok, I redid the cabinet page so it's much faster loading, and is also much easier to find from the main page. I have done some more work on the cabinet and will upload some new pictures soon so you can check them out. Basically I have painted the bezel and added some Pac-Man images to give it a beter look, and am very pleased with the results.

Ok, the new picture is online that shows the point that it's currently at. I have everything ready to go except painting the front of the cabinet.
