From time to time I complain to my girlfriend about the ubiquitous presence of dust and cat hair that eventually makes its way over to my Big Red control panel. I keep the door closed and the cat out, but you can't keep the dust out.

I always voiced a desire to have a specialty control panel dust cover, something more elaborate than a towel, preferably form fitting. But this was always in jest, poking fun at myself for being slightly OCD about room cleanliness. So, imagine my surprise as I was opening my birthday presents last weekend and one contained a hand made cozy for my mini MVS2-13 control panel.

It's not finished yet, and she couldn't do the regular Big Red panel because she wasn't able to sneak in the dimensions off my panel. So she decided to start off with the Mini cab I'm storing at her place. The joysticks are chrocheted and can be expanded to fit a larger Ultimate Happ stick. The edges will still need to be finished to create a better fit over the edges of the control panel, covering it up so it sits flush on the buttons and protects like a true dust cover.

I'm just stoked that I'll finally have an actual dust cover that retains the Neo Geo look and feel :)

cdamm and you should get a club, crochet the true neo geo feel or something like that. I think he has a rug or something... Cool!

Yup, cdamm's wife made an MVS faces logo rug IIRC.

Last Christmas I got a knit red/white MVS control panel stripe themed Neo Geo scarf. I'll post that up when it's cold again.
