Built 4 new cabinets - let me know what you think.

The pourable resin works great. I haven't done a CP in it, but I've used it on my desk (it's hardwood and slate tile), and other furniture. It smells a bit while you're mixing and while it cures, but as I recall it wasn't enough to drive me out of the house.
It drips all over everything though, unless your doing a completely sealed pour. So throw down lots of drop cloths that you can throw out, and be prepared to do a little finish work on the underside (because you'll likely want to sand down all the drip bumps).

No offense, but the way the cabinets are cut looks terrible to me.

Maybe it's the colors but the photos almost look like CG creations to me... T-Moulding would be a nice touch. I like the posters idea and yeah, tone down the intensity of the cab paint colors just a bit.

I think they are a good start but need a little work/refining. Some comments:
1. T-molding is a must on an arcade cabinet, IMO
2. The cabinets do not appear to take advantage of the fact you are using a flat display. Maybe try slimming the design?
3. Center the trackball (also for a CP that large you really need a 3" TB - the one posted looks like a 2-1/4" one but I can't tell for sure)
4. Hide/recess the trackball mounting plate
5. Ditch the original marquees and art - these are obviously not original. Maybe use "ArcadeKO" or something to brand them?
6. The front panel of the CP needs some work. I think I can see the screws/nails in some of the pictures. Also, the top edge of the front CP panel should NOT be visible - you should extend the top CP panel over it.
7. There is way too much unused real estate on the CP - they could be much smaller (and more pleasing to the eye as a result)
8. Since these are obviously multi-game cabinets why limit your controls? The "standard" Project Arcade layout (2 joys, 6 buttons, TB and spinner) would give users the most bang for their buck in terms of the amount of playable games.

The angles are a bit severe and the colours a bit obnoxious, but that's just a stylistic thing. I do have one legitimate complaint though- what's up with the balltops? They look really short!
I do like the clean look, however. And they look pretty well put together. Running MAME, I assume?
