That’s a beauty!
@tokerblue: check Donavan’s writeup on his site for further detail, but the basis is the marquee is an acrylic sheet cut to size then painted with flexible spray paint. then the vinyl is applied and if you felt it you could feel the vinyl, but to the eye it just looks like its right on the acrylic.
@pasky: if you set your mind that you are gonna do it you can knock it out. this is how it went for me after I had all pre planning done:
Monday bought materials
Tuesday sketched all the sizes onto the wood and got everything cut
Wednesday put together bottom base and side pieces
Thursday got entire casing put together minus the control panel
Friday routed edges and sanded all pieces, assembled control panel, painted marquee and applied vinyl.
Saturday primed all pieces
Sunday painted 4 coats of paint
Monday 2-3 coats of lacquer
Tuesday Reassemble and touchup
Wednesday-yesterday waited for movelist to be printed / laminated and small touchups etc.
This was with working 5 day 45 hour week, plus taking care of my son and spending time with the wife. Every night like 9-2am I just worked hard and my 2 days off I got all the painting done.
You can do it just put your mind to it.
Thanks again yall for all the comments.

that is awesome my friend!
If you ever started selling these cabs, I would totally buy one from you. =D
In the next couple days I will try and get some good pic’s with MAME running so you guys can see how it looks. Also if i can shoot a small video I will also.
Thanks again for the comments and keep the questions coming.
I lied… I have a few more questions on the logo. 
Would you mind telling me how much you paid for the Vewlix vinyl sticker? I went to a few places and it seems like it’s around $25. What size did you print the logo?
Dude that is fkn sick! I like how the cab matches ur Jordan 1’s
ho damn, that is just purty, great job man.
Wow it looks amazing. I wish i had the money to do this right now. Its time for me to start saving up.
@tokerblue: My friend actually printed for me for free, but 25 sounds about right. the logo is around 6 inches long.
Thanks again guys for the input guys! And all of yall that want to make one, if you already have the electronic aspects the rest was no more than 300 dollars in materials. Well worth it being I will play games on this only until I cant anymore lol.
Any chance you could post a pic of it running something like Third Strike? I’m gathering my pre-planning together but I want a set up that will run something like that and stil look good on a 24inch monitor(yours is a 30inch tv I think but should give me a good idea) 
Tnx in advanced if you do
That’s awesome. Great work!
New Videos and Pictures on the first post. Few things everyone was asking me about are up there:
MAME Shots & Video
Mac Monitor
Vewlix Vinyl
Video of Live Gameplay
Video of the Cabinet
Hit me with anymore questions or comments and thanks for the ones so far
Yeah I saw your stuff on Kotaku. Looks amazing dude!
That’s awesome dude, tnx so much for making that video for 3rd strike it looks really nice and not weird or off like I thought it would. Hope you really enjoy that thing.
so you say you’ve never had any building experience… i’m pretty much on the same boat… i’ve done little odd jobs here and there, but onthing like this…
I would love to build something like this, but i’m totally scared of just screwing it up and wasting A LOT of money on wood.
How did you manage to finish this build without any prior experience…
hell i’m struggling just to read the plans 
I’m seriously soooooooooooooo tempted to build one of these things but i have no wood work experience what so ever.
^you can make it alot easier on yourself but getting the dimentions from donavans site and having a woodworking shop cut them FOR you.
