Man that sounds amazing. If you need some design advice on ergonomics etc give me a shout. As for the graphics - do you have anything in mind?

My old cabinet just had a MAME marquee and some related graphics. Not sure yet for the new one. An idea I've had and something that would look really cool, but might not be affordable or easy to do would be an LCD marquee so it changed with each game being played. Now that would be cool.

The only advice I do need if anyone can help is working with wood and creating strong joints and a good finish. I know I need to use clamps and glue everything for a good construction, but I don't have much experience of making things out of wood.

I may build a test mini cabinet to experiment so I can get the construction right before I go ahead with the real one. I could then also use the test build for paint tests too.
