Its looks go no doubt but there are some quawks with me.  I am a fan of simple CPs not all-in-ones.  I would have used swapables myself but thats you choice not mine.  A coin door would have been nice but for a mame cabinet its not needed again its a personal thing.  The t-molding looks great and that wiring had to be a pain in the ass to do.  I get to my keyboard from ether the back or the coin door so my not a drawer fan.  Over all not a bad cabinet.  Are you plannling any more artwork?

I will be printing more artwork as soon as I design it. Took a little bit of time to learn Illustrator but now it will not be a big problem.

I just got a coin door today off of e-bay, will make the mod as soon as it shows up.

I plan on helping a friend build his cabinet and will make some mods to the design from what I learned building mine.

My next project will be a sit down driving cabinet. I race real cars and have a race seat just waiting for a home. 

The Momo steering wheel & pedals that I have will also be in the cabinet. I was thinking of a 3 screen system for the display.

If I'm going to build it may as well make it unique.

Looks great, you can definately tell you did your research when designing the panel.

Good job, welcome to the most addicting hobby of all time.

Everyone plans a driving cabinet but most never get past a thought.  I have been planning one myself but I havnt finshed my cabinet yet.  I did find a nothing thing the boils my blood you joystick screws are showing.

Here is a pic of the first driving seat that I made.

I will be using the parts from this unit.... and yes I know if it looks like a coffin.

The Original Logitech Momo wheel is the best force feedback wheel ever made! It uses a  real racing Momo wheel, leather wrapped and everything. Also has aluminium pedals.

The system has enough feedback to pull the wheel out of your hands, so if you wreck you know it.

Works with any game system that can use a USB wheel. At the time of the photo I was playing Gran Torismo on my PS2.

Very nice cab for a first! Though I also have a pet-peeve about joystick bolts and non-flush mounted tball plates. (sorry, had to rib ya' for a sec).

Your CP is nice and clean and very functional in it's setup.  Good luck with the driving cab, I'm in an almost identical spot as you - wanting to create a driving cab since I just finished my first mame cab. Only, I don't have a wheel yet.

Again, congrats, that's a cab to be proud of! Let us know when you get your artwork done, that really helps bring even more life to a good cab.
