	Here is the backside with the monitor installed. There isn't room for much more inside this cabinet.
	First boot to windows. Works perfectly! Always a surprise when everything works the first time around :D There is some noise from the amplifier though. Got to look into that at some point.
	I had to install a small PSU for the amplifier, the PC PSU was too noisy for sound. Good thing I had this one in my basement.
	The back panel is mounted. Looks nice.

	Finally I received the artwork for the marquee and control panel. The artwork for the control panel is self-adhesive.
	It's a bit tricky to mount the artwork. I tend to get quite aggressive while mounting it, so I am always alone while doing it :D
	Looks pretty good with the buttons and plexiglass.
	Love the light buttons for pause and exit. They are expensive, but well worth the money. I see that now :D
	Looks absolutely stunning to me. My best control panel so far. Love the MagStik Plus too. You can mount your joysticks invisible too, with this bracket: Nanocade Invisible Joystick Bracket v2
	The messy wiring. I admire those who can make a nice and neat wiring, I am not one of those. But it works just as well.
	I installed the control panel after mounting the Ultimarc MiniPac. Looks nice and matches the beige colour very nice i think.
	The marquee is installed and the cabinet is almost finished. I need to fix a few small things inside though.

If you decide to make your own MAME cabinet using my drawings, please feel free to make a donation, as I'm trying to raise enough money to make a new up-right cabinet, that's hard to do as a student.
