I couldn't resist uploading a few more photos! Last night I added a metal kickplate and decorative strip on the front of the control panel. I think they make a huge difference to the visual appeal of the cabinet. Tonight I attached the rear panel, after first mounting the external power switch to it. At least the cats can't get inside the cabinet now! These latest photos show the illuminated buttons on the front panel, which I have configured to select, pause, and exit games. Very handy indeed, and they look pretty cool as well :)Not much left to do now to complete the cabinet- I need to track down some rubber edging, order some glass/plexi/lexan (not sure which one) to cover the screen, and create and print some artwork for the top panel. I'll give myself plenty of time to organise these finishing touches, as I'm not sure I can keep going at the pace I had set myself! Besides, the cabinet is now fully functional, and I'm keen to get some game time in... :)
