so you can get an idea of how much glare you get with plexi, here's a pic of my cp. It's really poor quality because I took it w/ my cell at night but it really does give you a good idea of how much reflection to expect. I like it, but they're right about it scratching up easily.. it already has a scratch and I have no idea where it came from.
I'm also going to be designing a cabinet for the summer, I have everything setup and running I just need to build the rest of the cab to hold the cp and monitor. Oh yeah I don't have a trackball yet.. it will be a happ trackball (an illuminated blue one), and I also plan on adding a spinner. Both of these parts run about 80 bucks each so... yeah... I'll get the trackball first and the spinner someday.
Here's the link to the cp, I uploaded it as a huge file and forgot to resize it

For the side art I may just have it mostly blue with a black space invader... or a scene with a few space invaders and the ship. I don't know much about art design, but I'm afraid it'll be repetitive to have the same design on the sides as on the control panel.
By the way, I'm also using Maximus arcade and have a blog I use to store tutorials to help me remember how I did certain things I never want to figure out again.
