You will need the ability to cutout the MDF panels either via a CNC or with 1:1 templates from the supplied models or DXF. Then you will need access to a 3D Printer for brackets and mounts. Lastly you will need some knowledge on how to burn an image onto an SD to run the emulation images on the raspberry pi or similar minipc in the cabinet. For more details on that see: Video of emulation on a Pi 3 B+: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUxaXA7TgXU&t=772s Images: https://www.arcadepunks.com/retro-pi-downloads-page/ Here are links to the part I bought when building the cabinet for my sons: Screen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D17GPI4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Joystick Buttons: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XHLVUBM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Computer (Pi 3 B+): https://www.amazon.com/ELEMENT-Element14-Raspberry-Pi-Motherboard/dp/B07BDR5PDW/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542605620&sr=1-8&keywords=raspberry+pi+3 1/2" MDF: https://www.homedepot.com/p/MDF-Panel-Common-1-2-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-1-2-in-x-49-in-x-97-in-M31240849097000000A/202332602 Switch for LED Backlight: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B86Z94/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Fused Socket Switch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F4MGRRE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 USB Panel Mount Extension Cables for Rear USB (for USB Controllers/Etc): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012C4EZP2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1 Power Strip for Inside Cabinet: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-6-Outlet-Surge-Protector-2-Pack/dp/B014EKQ5AA/ref=sr_1_3_acs_sk_pb_2_sl_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542605919&sr=1-3-acs&keywords=power+strip LED Strip for Marquee Backlight: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVRVPRM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1 3D Printed Parts: For Rear Power and USB panel, Monitor Mounts, and Monitor Control Rocker Buttons to access underside buttons from front of arcade with a clean look. For Software... I like Recalbox = https://archive.recalbox.com/ For roms... look in the usual places. For extra controls... you can use wired USB controls, Xbox One S Bluetooth Controllers directly to the Pi 3 B+, or I like these for RF wireless ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KVBL4U2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
