Well, the blue lines compliment the marquee, joysticks, and trackball. It helps balance the color, because otherwise you have a few blue elements here and there on top and a solid black base underneath.

I just think it looks a lot better that way. :)

Okay then, what's the best/most reliable place to get blue T-molding?

That's looking very good, better looking than my arcade cab right now. I do have a website with some pics of my arcade machine, but no finished shots. Here is a shot of my finished arcade machine:

Warning to dial up users, this is a big pic.

Wow, your camera is filthy, arfink. But nice cabinet.

Oh, and SC, I like the blue as well.

Actually, the camera wasn't filthy, the air was. We were working in a garage/pole barn type building with very bad ventilation and there was so much sawdust in the air. When you turn on the flash and the autofocus you can see every single particle of dust as a spot with a halo, just like in that picture. I couldn't get a better shot no matter how hard I tried. I will be taking some more good ones now that my machine is at home in a less dirty environment.

Edit: oh yeas, the blue is soo cool looking, really nice I think. It gives it a nice two tone look. Shoulda done that on mine, and some nice artwork. Oh well, another day, when I actually have money...
