The main bulk of the Arcade Cabinet is screwed together and is fully playable while standing upright.
We can breathe a sigh of relief as most of the hard part is over. All that is left to do before painting (and will probably be tended to this weekend) is some minor sanding, the screwing on of the marquee support and speaker panel ledger boards as well as cutting the sides ever so slightly so that the X-Arcade control panel fits in snug, tightly and securely.

I also set up my master PC to control the Arcade PC remotely using Microsoft's Remote Desktop - a simplistic Godsend actually pre-built into Windows XP! Theoretically I don’t even need a separate keyboard, mouse and CD/DVD Rom drive for the Arcade PC as absolutely everything can now be controlled remotely!
Isn’t technology grand??!!


As you can see by the pictures below, young Jaden is a bit peeved that he wont be able to reach the Arcade. However rest assure that he will go to whatever lengths possible (and that includes climbing on the chairs and dining table) to try and reach his games!
