Looks like its going to be nice. Not that there is anything wrong with your design, but something I think gives the bartops a lot of character is to cut a little curve on the front sides. Just gives it a  more friendly shape and looks more like an 80's machine. The guy that built Jungle MAME did the sides beautifully.

What did you use to connect the sides together?  I see the 'L' brackets but is that all?

This is where it is at the mo. Monitor installed, PC built and ready to install.

The piano hinge in the pic is temporary - bought a full length one today to install....

Still waiting for the chrome t-molding to be delivered.

Ordered 2 fans and power cable split extension to power fans.

Will buy acrylic piece today.

Have Wednesday off this week so hopefully will finish it then (apart from the t-molding of course - unless it gets delivered)
