Great job on the Pocket Galaga!  It's a real work of art.

And nice trick photography shot - I was caught off guard at first.  If the depth of field was larger it would be very deceptive.

leapinlew - Do you have any pics or plans of the one you built? What did you use inside?

Yeah - I don't really use plans...

If I used plans I would still be on my first cabinet.  ;)

Depends how functional you want a cabinet to be.

If you only want a few games, you could hack one of those multi-game-in-a-joystick things and just buy a small in-car screen from ebay or something. That lot would fit into any size cab you wanted. Alternatively, if you wanted multi-functionality in a permanently installed cabinet, start looking at Mini-ITX or Nano-ITX boards.

The cabinet's the easy part as far as most of us are concerned. Sort out your hardware first and just build around it. Bear in mind though, going to your average Bar-Top size is easy and cheap. Start going any smaller and the complexity and cost goes up as you move into more advanced micro-architecture for your electronics.
