If you want to have a cheap alternative for the people who are around...  Sell the plans...  

There really is two markets.  Those who do it themselfs.. And those who don't...  Not to many swing back and forth (unless you REALLY drop your prices)...

but the price to ship wood is expensive.  So you probably wont be able to sell them cheap enought even in a kit to make it worth your time satisfying everyone here.

Last... wasn't about a year ago that you needed to be talked into NOT selling your cabinet... and you going off and making a buisness out of it... We are SO proud... All grown up an all...

Heheh, all grown up eh?  :)  I won't be selling plans because it would make it too easy for someone to compete.  If I get a patent, I might think about at least selling the outdated plans.  Then they would have to be licensed in order to sell them.  But if someone doesn't care about the law, it still makes it too easy.

Good luck 1up. You and frosty were my primary inspirations for this cab: http://www.aaronmurray.com/default.asp?page=arcade/dans_cab.htm

Do you plan to offer some sort of wiring harness? That was a huge pain...and I made a nice harness. Spent tons of hours on it...

The plan is to use Ultimarc's MinIPAC, which is available with wiring harness.

Sasquatch!:
Good luck, 1UP!  Yours is certainly a cab worth of commercial reproduction.

 while im not personally interested in such a cab... there are those that would be.  

 i recomend making the cab wide enough to mount a 27" display in there.   Most fighters use 25" monitors.. and are much better visually.

 your current 19" ?  monitor mounted horizontally wont display verticals without too much shrinkage.

  with a 27" display mountd horizontally... youlll have a perfect 19" diagnol vertical picture - and a huge horizontal display to boot.  (good for tripple screen games too)

  the only other route is rotating monitors... which can be a lot trickier.
 
 i also agree with lilwolf.   only the wealthy without skillz will be buying these... the rest will try to duplicate it plans or not, on thier own.  Some may buy the plans though... as some like the ease, cost effectivness, and not having to re-invent the wheel.    

 so with that in mind... you'd want to make the thing decked  out...  not cheap.  or... make a few different models: 'cost effecient'  &  'no expense spared'  kinda thing.
