Time To Get Organized - Again!

*SIGH*

I still have a ton of work to do on my cabinet and it's time to make another "punchlist" so I have some sense of order to what I'm doing. Here goes (again!):

Cabinet Construction
1. Cut hole in rear for power attachment (See HERE for what I'm talking about)
2. Tape cabinet to accept the black paint on the interior
3. Paint black section of the cabinet (4 or more coats, as necessary, sanding in between)
4. Tape cabinet to accept the pink paint on the exterior
5. Paint pink section of the cabinet (4 or more coats, as necessary, sanding in between)
6. Spray on 15 coats of lacquer
7. Wet sand coin door panel and two side panels with 1500 grit sandpaper for finish
8. Apply rubbing compound and polish to coin door panel and two side panels
9. Cut marquee retainer
10. Install marquee
11. Install speaker covers (use screw caps)
12. Install pink t-molding
13. Cut posterboard bezel
14. Install glass over the monitor

Electronics
1. Install recessed plug outlet in rear of cabinet (hook up SmartStrip)
2. Install coin door
3. Install monitor
4. Wire everything (buttons, joystick, coin door, etc.)
5. Set up MAME
6. Set up MaLa (front end)
7. Place computer in cabinet

To Buy
1. Recessed plug outlet

Wow - this looks like a lot more than it really is when you break it out. By this weekend I should have at least one coat of the pink and black paint on the cabinet (it's completely primed right now). Basically, all that's left is the finish on the cabinet and hooking up the computer (and some miscellaneous stuff). I'm getting closer!!

Thanks for looking!!
