haha yea they are, but they are so worth it!

Also, I got an email back from Mike's Arcade with the size of the DK panel they sell

The panel is 22-3/8" long and 8-7/16" wide

should be fine for my cab!

And Right now mamemarquees has a few bargin bin DK marquees, and one happened to be 6x23 which should fit fine in my cab for $10! :D

The wood on the panel is the right size as it goes under the wood monitor bezel (where the Instruction Card decal goes) but the plexi does not go under it, but rather buts up to it and is measuring at 8-3/4"...does that sound right?  Please, please, forgive me sk8ersublime for jumping in on your thread but you are doing EXACTLY what I want to do (though mine will be a DK JR) plus 2 people researching is better then one.

Its fine man haha....as for the panel, im assuming that the measurements the gave me are for the wood part of the panel.  Im sure it will fit your cabinet fine since you actually have a REAL nintendo cabinet.  Im building mine from scratch so I have to worry about making crappy cuts and screwing something up.  But i think my cabinet is pretty close to spec. might be a little high with the base. But since i just bought all the front art work I should have a better idea by this weekend. I should have all the panels on, except for the Control Panel, which ill get at some point soon. 

sk8ersublime:
I broke and went ahead and got the control panel today... Lol. By the weekend I'll have a full cab minus the bezel and marquee retainers... I might improvise as it's a bit expensive for a few strips if metal.

Could someone give me the measurements of the two pieces the control panels rest on the side? I have no info on this.

mr_doles:
Sorry I did not get to this until now, if you dont get the info from someone by tomorrow I will take my cp off and measure mine.
