What type of PC monitors do you use? Looks great as usual, ever think of sharing your plans on the cab? I'm intrested on how you do your monitor shelf.

I use 21" Dell Trinitrons. Amazing picture and they have a black case which saves me time.

The monitor shelf is constructed of 2x3's with a 3/4" MDF top.
It's supported by vertical 2x3's on the interior of the cabinet.

very cool!! I do like how nice it looks. One suggestion, not trying to be rude or down your AWESOME looking cab!!, but if you have similar art on the monitor bezel like on your CP (slick black with the faces or something), it would make it look better...IMO.


still awesome work!

That is simply amazing.  I just started my first cabinet and I can only hope it turns out half as nice.  Very nice work.

Well the bezel looks a little obvious in those daytime pics but normally it just disappears. Not a big fan of bezel art unless it's a dedicated machine like a Pacman or Galaga. I'm always striving for a really clean look.

We switched out the joystick handles for a set of groovygamegear blue translucent ball-tops yesterday. Looks like blue FX buttons will be going in as well. I'll post some updated pics when it's all completed.
