Hi guys, I just wanted to post what I have done so far for this project.
I at first wanted to make a showcase panel, but I also wanted a sit down. So the idea to make a sit down/showcase setup came to mind. So I did the measurements and went out and bought the wood.

Here is one of the boards used.

After measuring and cutting the pieces, I used corner braces to hold the bottom with the sides.

You'll notice here that the x-arcade is held in place by a couple of small,flat braces on each side. I plan on removing these.

I cut off the extra length from the sides so that they more fit the control panel. The bottom lengthens out as it goes down, but I'm not sure if it is reliably stable.

The bottom piece sticks out from the bottom and provides the extra support. I might remove the extra length if the sides provide enough support.

I had an extra piece of wood from one of the boards so I decided to just throw it on the front and use corner braces to keep it in place for now. I plan on using glue once I figure everything out.

Here is a pic of a computer chair in front of the panel.

This is a pic showing the monitor in regards to the chair and the control panel.
I'm going to have to buy some more wood to help finish this up. I have never really made anything with wood before. If you guys have any pointers for what I should do with this, I'd be glad to hear them.
I can't wait to finish the pedestal and move on to the monitor! I'll update again once I finish putting the panel together!
