Many peoples control panels and cabs blow this one away in both design and construction.

Huh??? Obviously there are many design flaws and you may or may not like the whole see-through idea, but in terms of physical construction that looks to be about perfect.

I don't think the sides are exposed.  At least the front must have material since the P1/P2 start buttons are mounted there.

It really is one of the nicest looking panels I've ever seen.  The TV is just plain goofy, though.  Even supposing you would want to play arcade games on the tiny little screen it's not even centered.  Player 2 couldn't see what the hell was going on.

I think they are you can see that there is a litle piece of plexi to hold the start buttons but the rest of the front and side look open.
