I built my cabinet a few years ago and after switching jobs, getting married, and buying a house, my cabinet has been placed in the garage and hasn't been touched in over a year. The bug recently hit and I'm back and in the process of updating all the software, roms, and general look my project.
Here is a link to my cabinet. http://gdilly.com/ (http://gdilly.com/)
My cabinet currently has a custom made Marquee and I use the same graphic for the desktop picture on the pc. The control panel is a simply sheet of black cardboard with some custom made graphics for buttons, etc. I currently have a piece of plexi covering it, but as you can see in some of the pictures I have cracked it and will need to replace. So instead of replacing it I have decided to go with an overlay with a set of graphics on it. I would then redo the marquee to match.
The problem I have having is thinking of anything to use. I've been looking around to see if there was anything out there to download and use, but just haven't found anything I like.
Anyone out there have any suggestions for graphics or a good theme I could use to bring new life into my project?

Also, if anyone has any ideas of a logo for gdilly please let me know.
Note: gdilly is taken from my name and was given by friends years ago.

Well, if you're sticking with the title for your cab, it gives me sort of army/commando theme?
Explosions, contra, metal slug, ikari warriors. Make it an action movie!
Or super trooper based? Team ramrod?
