Looks great. What games do you have on there? Is it MAME or like a 48-in-1 or something? Also, any particular reason your side panels don't match? :cheers:

I'ts a total mame machine running on a cheap PC (400mhz Celeron). I have most classic vertical games like Ms Pacman, Pacman, Donkey Kong, Burgertime, Frogger, Galaga, Galaxian, Xevious, Sky Sharks, Space Invaders. My plan is to implement more, if not most vertical oriented games.
YES!!! There is a reason the sides don't match. Left and front sides will be finished with the Ms Pacman graphics, and the right side will have the Galaga graphics, similar to the new reunion machines. I may also do something different with the front, to incorporate both games graphics.

Last night the pizza place I went to had the 1981 reunion machine (Ms.Pac/Galaga). It was the first time I saw one in person. The monitor size was awesome.
Nice work on the cab. Looks really good. What are you going to do with the front? With Galaga on one side and Ms. Pac man on the other, maybe you can incorporate more of the Donkey Kong and Space Invaders that you have on the control panel.

I may just put the Ms Pacman graphics on the front, or try to incorporate other elements. I may try to re-create the reunion style graphics, that wouldn't be too hard, using some screen shots, cut and paste.
I considered a larger monitor, there's definitely room for it in a standard cabinet, when you consider the bezel. But they aren't giving away 25" LCD screens, the 19" wasn't too bad, I think it was $179 at Staples.
If money were no issue, I would have put in a larger monitor and scaled down the bezel.

I wasn't suggesting that you should have gone with the 25" monitor. I just was really impressed seeing it for the first time. Too costly for me. That looks like a good price on the 19" that you got. I'm still trying to figure out what to put in me cab.
Again, great work on the cab!
