My Cab
Bill Mote:
Oh yeah, I also mounted a happ pushbutton right on the side of the cabinet. I cut the switch off of a PC power button and soldered it to the microswitch and mounted it on the button. I drilled a hole and hot glued the PC's power LED through the cabinet as well.
Now, if it gets buggered up too badly the kids just tap the button and XP does an orderly shutdown. When the LED goes out (PC is off) the kids just hit the button again and viola! The arcade is back to life.

Props to LuSiD on the design. The one thing I really didn't care for was the use of L-brackets. I completed the entire cabinet using 2"x2" boards glued and screwed to the left and right panels. The L-brackets looked like an afterthought given the detail shown to the rest of the cabinet.
I didn't care for the open backed cabinet based on his 3-sheets of plywood and/or MDF so I wanted a few changes.
Jakobud has *very* detailed drawings with measurements that you'll find invaluable if you're building a cabinet!
