Is it feasible to build the control panel first and the cabinet later?
guytalbot:
I have been doing some research around here for the past few weeks.I was wondering if you could build your control panel first, hook it up to your pc, and later attach it to the cabinet you build, is there any problems with this approach?

You might have to modify the dimensions of you control panel depending on what kind of cab you get as they have varied widths unless you are building your own. If you build it now it will help you figure everything out and you can always take all the buttons and sticks and put them on the right size cp. Plus you get to play now! ;D When I discovered MAME I immediately went and bought a Hotrod just so I could start playing.

If you do your control panel first, you'll just sit and play it and never quite get around to building the rest...or restoring the rest...etc.

Plus you'll have to make sure you're very accurate when you build your cab. Building the CP last allows you a margin of error when you build the cab...

Of course it is possible, but the amount of planning in order to get it to fit into a cabinet (built or refurbished) would have driven me insane. I made so many modifications to my cabinet plans as I was building it.
Guess it all depends on what you want, and how good you are at planning.
Just my $0.02
