good control panel design?

<< < (3/3)

severdhed:
that is looking much better....much, much better.

Dire Radiant:
What exactly is the point of the half-acre of dead space at the back? Do you really need to be that far away from the monitor to see it clearly?

f4phantomii:
I always liked the look and layout of this control panel, based off the SuperCade panel I believe.

Many features of it inspired my 2-player CP with some mild modifications.

And for reference, my CP:

javeryh:
I've always wondered if it is uncomfortable to use the controls on the second tier close to the screen.  It seems like you would have to lean forward quite a bit...  anyone know?  I love the look of those things...

Sorry for not mentioning this earlier, but this thing isn't going on a cabinet. It's part of a plan to make a self-enclosed Mugen/Mame box. I'll probably make a sort of shell that the Control panel fits into, then stick some sort of computer inside the enclosure, giving me a portable(albeit very large) Mame box. Trust me when I say that my next project is definitely going to be a lot smaller.
