ok, this is what im thinking about putting in it:

this cabinet: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13716&item=6172165653&rd=1 (DO NOT BID ON THIS, IT IS MINE, I WILL KILL YOU)

these controls: http://www.x-arcade.com/two-player.shtml (i already have this, and don't use it for the consoles. im going to put this on the cabinet and buy a solo for my use on the consoles)

and this controller for the games that use a controller: http://gear.ign.com/articles/433/433778p1.html plugged into the computer through this http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=161&products_id=3833&

a tv like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6300683&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03003&id=1074787199082 (i think i def want a flat screen tv)

these guys to do the artwork for the cab: http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com/index.html (the top is going to look like this http://img30.echo.cx/my.php?image=top5ky.png and it will have oasis def maybe on one side and whats the story morning glory's covers on the other

this computer:
win xp, 80gb, 256mb ram, 1.7 ghz, s-video out

using maximus arcade for the system selector, this program is so fucking tight (which is better: maximus arcade or mamewah)

any advice, problems you see with compatability, etc? i want to play the following consoles on this:
most mame stuff
neo-geo
nes
snes
gb
sms
genesis
turbografx
basically all 2-d consoles that can be emulated

i want to paint an oasis logo on the top, how would i go about doing that, ect. ive seen projects thats others have done in the forums, and like what i see. for those of you who have experience doing this, some advice please

If you do make this, I'm going to come over and play it, because I am assuming you live in Ann Arbor :D . I personally dont see any compatibility issues, as I have run those emulators on much worse computers.

Did you check out klov.com? They might have the measurements. That cab does look nice. The good thing about it, is that it can fit a big tv :-P
