I'm in the very early stages of designing my cabinet. I'm building a cocktail cabinet from scratch using ash wood, and I'm trying an approach I haven't seen done yet. Basically, I'm going to do a horizontal and vertical orientation; i.e. I'm going to have a control panel along one of the long sides of the table, and one control panel on a short side. The short side will be used for vertical oriented games (using MAME's rotate feature), and the long side will be for horizontal oriented games.
I know I'm probably only going to get one shot at getting this right, and I'm sure many of you have alot of opinions on what is mandatory to have in a cabinet, and what things look good on paper but don't work out so well in practice.
If you are willing, my initial layout diagram is linked in this message. Any comments are appreciated!
