Pictures of the cabinet fully assembled from the front and sides. The artwork on the Marvel cabinet is amazing, but I think the upcoming X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom cabinets have better side panel artwork.

The marquee can light up, but I have it turned off by default as it's a bit too bright. A relay module runs between the power to the marquee and the Pi. The relay module allows me to control power to the marquee via the Pi's GPIO pins using a simple Python script.
The Limited Edition cabinet has Sanwa joysticks and buttons just like the real cabinets. It came stock with bat tops, but I swapped them out with ball tops instead.
The brains of the thing. It's a Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB.
The LCD controller board is mounted behind the monitor as well as the relay module.
Underneath the control panel. The Sanwa buttons have terminals that connect to the USB encoder. This encoder allows everything to function with the Pi.
There are no coin buttons in the stock configuration, so I had to drill two holes in the front then add them in. I used screw-in Sanwa buttons and you can see one of them as they have an orange ring.
Since I wanted to use the stock speakers, I had to install an audio amplifier behind the marquee. A 3.5mm audio cable runs between this and the LCD controller.
