What is your favorite upright cabinet design?

I'm mostly interested in actual arcade cabinets (esp. classics).  If you have a favorite homebuilt cab, those are good too, but a link or pic would be appreciated!

I'm in the middle of redesigning my cab for production, and I thought I might draw on some classics while I'm at it...  :)

Ahhh, there's so many!  IMO, probably the best known cab shapes are the various old Midway cabs like the Pac, Rally-X, Galaga, Ms Pac; and the older Atari cabs like Asteroids and Centipede.

My personal favs are the Williams cabs like Joust/Robotron, and I *really* like the Gottlieb Q*Bert/Mad Planets cabs.  In fact, I like my Mad Planets cabinet so much, I'm just starting my Mini-Planets project, which is a 75% scale version of my Mad Planets cabinet.

Midway & Williams.

Asteroids, definitely.  It has such a strong "stance" to it.  That said, it's not the most ergonomic/comfortable shape, but damn, it sure looks cool.
