Okay, I will probably do the rest of the categories when I fully check through all the projects.  Since I was concentrating on bartops these past couple of months through, I will start with that:

Small Cabs/Nonstandard Unstupid's Bartop Neo-Geo System: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=114435.0
The looks of the bartop(s) alone is outstanding, but read through the thread and you'll see not only did Unstupid use real Neo Geo hardware, but he has a second Neo-Geo bartop (sans hardware) that connects directly to the main one, giving player two his/her own screen and set of controls. It's ingenious and probably a blast to play.

Hack or Mod: Le Chuck's Barcade: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=116602.0
On the outside it looks like a well-designed "Weecade" style bartop with an eye-catching theme. But instead of throwing a "Frankenpanel" on it or swapping out controls, he designed his CPto maximize the game-selecting potential. His is the first (complete) cab I've seen that took the idea of automatic 4/8 way restrictor rotation and made it a reality, but the fact that his right joystick's ball top pops off effortlessly to replace with wireless Tron stick really raises the bar and gives builders less of excuse to try and fit tons of controls on one panel.

(I'll be back with my other picks later in the week.)

This is a great thread.  What about Artwork?

Hmm, if it's on a cab then nom the cab based on art, if it's not on a cab then it's technically code, especially if it was released for community use.

If there is a buncha folks who wanna see a separate art category then let me know and it can be added.
