Ban me if it has to be, but compared to the other trash being posted here it really looks like someone had his heart in it.

There aren't 10^512 buttons scattered in a chaotic way all over the CP, no flip-around controls, no trackballs, no wheels and aeroplane joysticks, no keyboards.
It's not made from grandma's nightstand, the monitor is reasonable in size compared to the size of the rest, button layout seems ok - it has a bat-top instead of a ball top but credit goes to vintage wood cabs, I guess.

Seriously, there has been worse...on eBay...for sale.

EDIT: Punctuation and spelling (for the worse I'd assume).

Monitor is a tiny bit too small, about an inch or two larger would have made it perfect. But if he built it with spare parts, I can forgive that.

I just enjoy how it was clearly designed to be placed in that exact space because it comes right up to the ceiling.

The worksmanship isn't the best (although probably better than I can achieve) and I agree about most of your points BUT... There's a VGA lead sticking out of the back so it's a PC monitored MAME cab, and therefore belongs in here.

No. Based on the size of the bezel, increasing the monitor size by 2 inches and centering it would be just about right compared to our real cabs.

Ideally you want to mount your monitor in this fashion:

Also, the button layout looks made for Street Fighter
