2Build cabinet
I inserted 2 power plugs directly inside the cabinet controlled by a switch. One plug will power the screen while the other powers a 5V adapter for the Pi and the amplifier (you’ll need to cut the one side of the Y USB cable to power the amplifier).

3Assemble components
Assembly is inspired by retrobuildgames guide.
It’s a lot easier since screen is simply connected by DVI and joystick uses a USB controller board.
Here some documentation about audio amplifier.
