Just noticed my arcade projects have made it into this weeks Hacklet.

I don't think I had mentioned the graphics overlay earlier.  I work in IT for an international printing company, so that was a freebie.  It was printed on an HP DesignJet latex printer that we use for vehicle wraps and store signage.  The base material is 3M self adhesive vinyl, and it has a 3mm faux-polycarb laminate applied to protect the graphics from wear.  The laminate has a matte finish and texture, and gives you just the right amount of grip on the surface without being abrasive.

Due to an extraordinarily busy schedule this summer, I have not gotten around to building the base box for the panel and actually wiring it up yet.  Oh, that and my chop saw and circular saw were both stolen out of my car and I haven't had the money to replace them....
