Dude, nice! I LOVE old arcade cabs [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-16c1934a-0e75-4e0e-8476-d2966ffdc3f5/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

I'd say, from the image, those are actually identical cabinets, despite the different games. That used to happen a lot.

But the thing to consider, in my opinion, is the monitor. Raiden uses a portrait orientation, which isn't as generic as the usual way around. So some games will look better (Pac-Man, 1941, Truxton, Tiger Heli) but a lot of other games will look quite small in the middle of the monitor due to the ratio being the other way around.

If you're swapping it out anyway, it doesn't matter, of course [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-16c1934a-0e75-4e0e-8476-d2966ffdc3f5/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Whichever you go for, they're awesome to work on, and look GREAT in your living room!

So Braedan was curious, what would be more interesting to the Element 14 community, using an already created Cabinet from an old arcade system, or taking one of the plans online and building a full size cabinet? Something like this? Easy Cab (arcade) This has the benefit of working in some Element 14 MAME paint/graphics. :-)
