Hi All

Well its been 11 Years since i decided to build a Cabinet and it took that just to buy the controls. What i went for is found in the below link. Question i have is, is there any design software that has the standard size of controls that can give you a rough design of what the control panel will look like at all?

after that will be the design of the cabinet unsure wither to use a CRT TV or a Monitor and what size to use. Budget is tight as have 2 kids and a misses with high maintance(Lol joke hope she dont read that as i keep sayin she aint) so any help would be greatful.

the cab will also have 2 light guns as well which i have alerady and also USB adaptor for N64/GC/PS.

Let me know if you find a 'standard' solution..... I know of nothing except a caliper, Solidworks and a c&c router.

cool idea... I like the cp kit you can buy, it looks pretty straightforward. I would definitely go with anything but a crt TV, I have one in my first cab that I built 3 years ago for my xbox 1, and it sucks to play on it for more than 20 minutes. You definitely need something you can stare at for a while up-close. As far as size, go with bigger is better, anything you can get your hands on that's bigger than 20 inches will serve fine. good luck! Hope it turns out awesome!

I didn't even think about that. That helps number another possibility.
