Great looking bartop.   Of course I am partial to the smaller cabs.  Neo Geo is a good choice to theme your cab on as there are a fair number of popular games that play well.   Nice software setup with windows hidden.  Some build pictures would be nice.

Nice looking bartop!
Glad to see you used a proper CRT in it.  :applaud:

edit:  it's also a good idea to start with a kit for the wood construction as your first cabinet. That kit looks pretty well put together too.

That is a very nice bartop. The Neo Geo theme is great.
I love the use of the crt rather than an lcd

looks amazing. I am supremely impressed.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
