I am not to happy with the faceplate, It just dont match the paint to well. i agree with the cold cathode idea i love the way they look. I have dual 12" colds in my arcade cabinet.

So you think a full cabinet with LED fans and colds in it???

TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH !!

how about a open front ??
square box etc allow 2" around entire unit ! velcrow it to bottom .
then put a few 12" cold cathodes on each side and acros top you can do two 6" cathodes of mixed colors ?
blue & red tied together on the 6" 

so two six inch red& blue on top space in middle for a light or slot button like WOF to power it up ?/ then two six inch red & blue to right on top .

then the 12" ones run inside on the corners for the depth of cabinet !! four needed --2-pair etc .

that would look cool -then use smoked plexi !!--????

just some thoughts ??

i like the WOF button for a on off switch even mounted through plexi ??

be carefull if you drill TAPE BOTH SIDES SO NO CRACKS !!

I think i may draw this up as a whole new MOD all togther. When i started working with plexi i had that problem, kept breaking it.

What do you mean by WOF power button????
