Just getting the parts and plans together stage so far, no pictures as yet.
parts list so far :)
HP D530 SFF 3.0ghz - 2GB DDR - 160 IDE HD - Windows XP PRO with COA - got from ebay for £29.99 including del ;D ( had this for a while as a test bed pc)
AGP 6200 gfx card - from my "parts box"
Dell 19" 4:3 monitor - ebay £35 free del
2 cheapo ball top "ZIPPYY" joysticks + 14 buttons (cheapish ones) + 1+2 player buttons - ebay £27 inc del
(not sure whether to go for a ipac or similar or a cheap joypad hack to hook up the controls)
120mm exhaust fan (blue led's) - ebay £2.50 inc del
fan grill - a unused disposable bbq grill,cut to size - 99p local shop ( the charcoal will be re-used on a proper bbq in the summer ;) )

12mm MDF - local diy shop £10 + £2 to cut to the sizes i need (except the sides), once i know how big i need lol
going for something like this as a rough guide for my bartop -
going to look into hyperspin for the FE ;D
my aim is to do the complete bartop for less than £150 (UK), don't we all love a bargain 8)
That's about it for now, it may take a while post an update, you have been warned ;)

I like your design... reminds me of the old TRS-80 computer from my high school! :)

I've checked out those plans in the past, you'll have a lot of fun. I recommend extending the sides up enough to give you a marquee. It really helps the project look like a cohesive unit.
