My daughter LOVES it and she is so excited to have an arcade machine of her own in her room - her reaction was thanks enough.
Here are a few more pics with the machine on. I have no idea how to take a picture without the flash that doesn't make the marquee look all washed out. I assure you it is beautiful - especially in a dark room!
It fits the space perfectly and looks like a little toy. It is small (80% of original Ms. Pac-man size - about 50" tall) but it is perfect for an adult to sit in a chair and play. Bella still needs a step stool to reach the controls and see the screen!A HUGE thanks to everyone over at BYOAC who provided me with all the great advice as I went along. I could not have done this by myself.

@Pedro - I actually have it set up to boot straight into my front-end (MaLa) which is in turn set up to boot straight to the last game played. Check here for how to hide windows: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Hiding_Windows
