Whew! I'm tired but the prototype miniMame video arcade machine is almost complete. It is really looking nice. All of the laminate is on, all panels are complete with the exception of the back door. I cut it too big! Ugh! All that is left is to mount the hardware (motherboard, speakers, controls and wiring). I also need to apply some graphics, Lexan in front of the TV and put on the t-molding. Oh! And a marquee too, of course. The marquee area is really tight especially considering the speakers are also mounted in there. I'm not sure if I can squeeze a light in there or not.All in all, it has taken me about 2 days to get it this far. If you decide to build an arcade cabinet, hopefully you find it as simple to construct as I did. I think the biggest part is having all the materials and tools on-hand, ready to go.
