My Space Invaders Cabinet

i remember one cab build using microsoft sidewinders hacked up to bits

perhaps using the controller and propper buttons and sticks

mine, if i did one, would use my spare lcd (got it for my old pc then upgraded a few months later to a full on new pc)
might canibalize the pc out of a case and mount it to the mdf and hope for better air circulation

but keeping it in the case means its still a normal pc if you want to take it out which some builds i saw did

edit:
and before i moved darn sarf i worked for a metal work powder painting company whos parent company did refits for a diy chain and had an mdf work shop
if i still worked their id know who to talk to bout getting things done and done right :)
