Freakin' sweet man! That thing looks kick ass! Yea I bulit my own marque for a MAME cabinet a friend and I built a few summers back... way cheaper and much cooler to say you made it yourself. Get yourself a cheap 12v LED strip to use as the light source as those are super easy to tap an in-line switch with... Tell ya what, PM me and I may have a piece of a strip leftover from my built that ill toss you

Thanks, but I already did that The lighting on each of the shelves is the same lighting I used for the marquee.

I like it. Can you take a pic of the lights off in the room and the shelf lit?  I want to see what it looks like in the dark.

I tried to take a picture the other night, but it did not turn out well because of the sharp lighting. I'll try again when I get a chance. I'm headed out of town for business this morning so it will have to wait till I get back home.

Comrade, do you know the source of these images? I have never seen any catalogs/brochures that NEC sent directly to retailers...this is the sort of thing one would find in retailer brochures...

DAMN.

Sparky owns that I recall and that's his photobucket account. Ask 'im.

Yes, I'll ask him , but I actually want the catalog/flyers that NEC provided to retailers. I don't think I have ever seen one.

This is great!

[captain_n77]

Gorgeous! That really looks amazing. It won't hurt my feeling if you show pics of the whole game room... 

[NightWolve]

This was part of his game room I guess. Somewhere there's a thread where sparky talked about how he got this I recall.

Great work, looking good :-)

That's a beautiful shelf, really nice work!

[esteban]

Anyway here it is side-by-side with the mock-up.

I still love it.

Very cool looking!  Do you have kids though?  If I had that out I'm pretty sure my daughter would destroy whatever she could reach on the bottom.

Man, very nice work--what kind of lights are in it?

I use LED strip lights for projects but they have their limitations. Mostly because my own electrician work has severe limitations. Like, I can plug stuff in, and stuff.

I do have a daughter but she is 10 years old and has been good with handling CDs and DVDs since she was about 3 years old. I taught her how to properly hold them because I get annoyed at discs sitting out of their case and finger prints all over them. So... yeah it's no problem.

I'm no electrician and even I figured this out. I'm a tinkerer when it comes to electronics and usually can figure things out rather easily. They have little solder points to daisy chain them together and then I hooked them up to this ... http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Female-Power-Adaptor-Connector/dp/B00Q1VPFC0/ref=sr_1_12?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1424873110&sr=1-12&keywords=ac+adaptor+female+plug ... The female ones that is and hooked up a 12v power supply.

I'm going to pick up a rocker switch and splice it in the wire to finish it off.
