Well...just about finished.  Still have a little work to do around the bezel.

Must... have... bigger... monitor. Other than that, looks good. And I must say, that thing is screaming for a wheel and some pedals.

cool. i agree with the monitor size, also a monitor bezel would really make it look nicer..more arcade, less PC monitor.

good work!

Looks awesome. Scrap the PC monitor, and I love the checkered CPO... I may have to steal that idea for my cab!

not to dock your workmanship and design, but it almost looks front heavy....the cabinet, no the avatar.

just in case, you might want to put one of those warning stickers on like they have on vending machines and the such.

I don't dig the CP and Nascar stuff. I don't know about the wood cabinets, they just look odd not to have paint on them, but I agree it's a nice looking wood.

The overall design looks ok, just a little top heavy.


(and the monitor...)

I'm not into the Nascar stuff either, but this is the theme they wanted...along with Oak to compliment other items in their basement.  I suppose it could be a little top heavy, but this is the third one with this design that I have built and I've had no problems, or complaints.
Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with the monitor, it'll probably look even smaller with the bezel in place.

I do like the wood nice heavy textured grain. I had to do mine in wood so it didn't look so out of place in the room it was going to live in.
