Pretty nice layouts, seems like a frankenpanel without the overly-cluttered look. It's no arcade cab but you obviously weren't going for a classic gaming experience. I imagine some pretty rad parties will be happening around that thing!

do the casters have lock-outs? I could see it rolling away form you during heated gameplay in arcade or driving mode. I've thought of doing this before, so I'm glad you did it. I can see its not for me in the end, but it does cover a lot of bases, I'll give you that. Props on a project completed, thats the hardest part...Config a good front-end, and you're gonna have some good times with that setup!

Only the slide out table part is on wheels & yes they are lockable...

I was just getting really sick of swapping out all my controllers everytime I switched games. I thought I'd do this & hook everything to a usb hub..That way I only have to stick in one plug to play everything...
