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. :cheers:

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. :banghead:
-
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. :) :) :)

:laugh2: Thats thing is great. Were can I get one? I hope your using it for mario kart.

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.

Looks good! Like the colors....

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.
