The screen was given to me by a friend who did not need it any more plus it had a damaged front facia
I used my old pc parts that i had just upgraded
Old keyboard and mouse kicking around
A few tools circular saw screwdriver 4x L shaped brackets
About 5 Hours of my time and bobs your uncle
Since building it i am in the process of getting Maximus Arcade running on it with slow but steady progress once the data base is set up on my other pc i will be installing it on the coffee table

Not bad for a days work. :applaud:

You may want to look in to replacing the glass with with non-bronzed tinted glass. It would hide the screen until you turn it on. Or you could just add get a large sheep of black paper and cut out a hole for the screen that would hide the already not to bad looking screen frame.

Thanks its a on going project so all comments are welcome
With this been the first cab i have built it started as "can it be done to god the potential this could be" so for just getting it up and running with Maximus Arcade running mame and other emus i should give it the makeover it deserves
If i get the software up and reliable then yes i will look into making it into a center piece for the lounge
