512MB RAM
80G sata HDD
17" CRT monitors

zippy joysticks
6 buttons a side + pause button on both sides

Very nice work indeed.  I would like to build a cocktail cabinet one day.  What are you using to display the control setups?  Also have you given any thought to using black speakers?

I use Fullscreen Photo Viewer to display the controls, I made the control pics in photoshop and then put them all in a folder, point fullscreen Photo viewer at folder and set it as an external app.

Yes speakers are the downfall finding the right size and color

Very nice, but the speakers to detract a little, esp since they're white.

Maybe cover the inside of the hole with speaker cloth and just hotglue the speakers in place +inside+ the cab would work better? (or screw them in place, or decase the speakers and just screw the speaker itself to the cab)
