After two weeks of non-stop tweaking, I think my [MAME Cocktail arcade](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000179.html) is finally complete. I created a [MAME cocktail project page](http://www.codinghorror.com/mamecocktail/) documenting everything I've done so far with lots of pictures and links to the products I used, and the rationales behind the choices I made.

I wonder if some of this:

Would help with the glare?
