Good job.
You could probably cut out a bezel of thin plastic for the screen, and paint that along with the rest. It would look cool if you used a two-color scheme.

Thanks, marshall.

The bezel currently is made out of MDF, but I have some plexi laying around that I'm going to lay over the MDF to protect the screen and give it a nice look. I also might cover the control panel with plexi, whether or not it will add thickness to the board, causing hard mounting abilities.

I was also thinking about painting it red and black, or white and blue. Which would look cooler?

Looks good, it was a great idea...
Isn't that the joystick you won?
I'm sure it'll eventually get better, too, but for now, hey it works fine

Great idea. The namco TV game is kinda blah by itself, but in a cabinet casing like that it's much cooler.

Thanks man. It was actually a one-day project, so everything you see in the pictures was put together in 4 hours.

Red and black, Ok!

The measurments, I'll take later. for me, I just eye-balled everything, but I do know it's 22.5 inches long (back to front).
