Here are some more pictures of my work in progress. It's nothing new, really - just a couple of different angles.

The first picture here is a straight on view of the third control panel. Eventually there will be two joysticks, a 2-1/4" trackball and 12 action buttons (6 per player) here for controlling the horizontal games. You can also see the coin door cutout below the long control panel.

The second picture is a shot of the player one control panel. There is going to be one joystick, 3 action buttons and a spinner here (for games like Arkanoid). Underneath the player one control panel I am going to have to drill two large holes - one for a computer fan and the other for a speaker. I have black grills that will cover the holes and match the rest of the cabinet. The fans are an absolute necessity due to the electrical components (computer and monitor, especially) being so compact in there.

In the close-up shown in the third picture, if you look closely you can see the groove on the end pieces where the t-molding is going to go. The t-molding gives the piece a nice neat finished look instead of the rough edges left by the saw.

The final shot is a close-up of the interior of the cabinet where the computer, all the wiring and the monitor will be placed once I get around to it. It will probably be a rat's nest of wires since I've never done something like this before and I really don't know what I'm doing. The back panel of the cabinet is missing because this is where you gain access to all of the internal components. There is a piano hinge that connects the missing panel to the bottom front panel in the last picture. The top of the table (not pictured anywhere) connects to the missing panel and holds the monitor. The top, the monitor and the missing panel all swivel on the piano hinge when I need to get inside for maintenance (hopefully never!).
