This was my second foray into arcade cabinet building. Design, construction, paint job and finish took approximately 40 man-hours, excluding shipping time for materials.
I started from a purchased set of plans that I eventually ended up throwing out, since both the depth and width were too big for the space the cabinet needed to occupy. The operating height was also not very ergonomic and would all but ensure neck and back pains at the end of prolonged play sessions. So I went back and drew my own plans from scratch.
The arcade control panel took an additional 25 hours to complete. The construction of that can be found over here.
