Finished my Mame control panel, what do you think?

Arcade control panel

Take a look..have to finish the trackball before she goes in...and possibly add a spinner. Before anyone asks, its 5' long and 22 inches deep. Its a beast i know, but I have large friends, and 4' small is just too small for us.

Started this on March 19th and finished it March 24th (yes i do have a full time job) . Much easier than my waterchilling project. I think given the time and research this isnt an extremely tough project. Very fulfilling too.

What did you use to make it and where did you get the parts?

Total cost?

Sweet, you have that I-Pac controller board.

:beer: to you!

Used to make it...router, sander, drill, table saw, circular saw...spade bits. Nuts bolts...
Main stuff:

80 dollar shipped ipac - Ultimarc
120 for jsticks, and buttons- Bob Roberts(go to this guy for this stuff...do a search on google, and go to therealbobroberts.com or something like that, great guy...recommend him anytime.)

This stuff i got at home depot
3 bucks for screws
5 bucks for hinges
7 dollars for adhesive for laminate
50 bucks for laminate
20 dollars for 3/4" mdf
3 dollars for paint roller brush
Oh, and I had some t-molding from a broken Capcom bowling cabinet...which was made out of plywood and repairs proved unsuccessful. Also took the trackball out of it, and will use that. The thing was a big pile of junk, and I will sell off the parts. I dont RECOMMEND DESTROYING A WORKING CABINET!

So about 300 total, not including some tools i had to buy...may be missing some stuff.
