Im a newbie here, so hi everyone, great forum.
I have been thinking about building this for some time now, but only recently started researching it etc.
Just been trying out frontends and sorting emulators etc.
I have no previous experience with any of this so its all new to me. I really like the look of this cab, so have done up some (rough) Google SketchUp files to play around with ideas. I will be using a CRT monitor so it will be a large enough cab for a bartop. Looking around, most people would put the PC under the monitor, but I recently came across a cab with it on top and thought that was a good idea so have worked that into my plans. As I said, these are just rough ideas, no measurements or anything.

The top of you bartop looks a little severe. Maybe follow a slope back approach and make the top slope down a bit at the back and angle the marquee to match.
