, blog about the I'm pleased to say I'm making progress, as these photos hopefully demonstrate. Cutting the monitor bezel was tough, and I wasn't entirely sure of my measurements, but it all seemed to work out ok. The control panel board and large board at the front of the cabinet are not yet fixed in place, but even like this it gives a pretty good idea of how the cabinet will look when finished. Of course the control panel will be covered with an overlay and the edges will be hidden by some kind of molding to help prevent chipping. Lots of work still to do, but it seems to be going OK so far! :)

Looks great ferris ! It reminds me of when I used to play Galaxian at the local fish & chip shop.
I look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Galaxian is one of the games I'm really looking forward to playing on the arcade cabinet!
U need a flat screen in there :) HD Galaxian!

That's an awesome looking arcade cabinet Indra! Maybe this one would be cheaper to build though :)
