I have started the log for this project wanted to pass this along to any who were interested. I have always wanted my own arcade machine and finally began construction on one. The only thing though is that my arcade machine is a slim one using a 17" flat panel and can be taken apart in to sections incase it needs to be moved or brought anywhere for fun or demonstrations.
Currently I am about 2/3 of the way done and have lots of little details that need to be taken care of. I currently have the Marquee cut and made but have to put it together, paint it and mount it.
I know it isn't exactly a case mod but a fun project none the less
