Co cktail Arcade Project

[dstone]

Well, I've finally decided to post one of my ongoing projects on the forums. What I've taken on is a custom built co cktail (had to edit it so the profanity filter doesn't mistake it) arcade machine, running MAME with several games. I have roughly 30 days to complete the project so I can enter it in a competition my schools Tech Club goes to (hosted by Texas TSA). I chose the co cktail version because it's a lot smaller than an upright (which I had already built 4 years ago, sold it to a family friend, I kept the computer, he wanted the shell to put the computer for a CNC router (powertool, not network router) in). I ordered all the parts about 2 weeks ago, and the IPAC board from London suprised me by arriving in 3 days, while the stuff from Happs Controls arrived 3 days ago. Anyways, I went to Home Depot yesterday and picked up some MDF, and kicked off the project when I got home from school today. Anyways, here's what I've got done so far (all pieces are upside down on the saw horses):


I cut out the top of the machine (I'll be getting some plexiglass from my shop teacher later on).
