Looks to me you're set on making a Make Trax huh?

lol, your following both post, eh? I just gotta make a Make Trax. I don't want the parts to go to waist. Plus Make Trax isn't that bad.
But don't worry. I'm going to make another cab too. Probably a Robotron. I just haven't decided which to do first.
Right now I have no money at all. I buy and sell ipod/iphone and other stuff to make money and I guess I just bought too many at once. Once I sell the ones I have now, I should get around $350. I just don't know if thats enough for the Robotron just yet. I'm actually starting to think I need a new monitor. (either that or a new bezel) There's open space to where you can see in the cab on the one I chose to use. I'm thinking that it used to be a moon patrol cab and used a 19' monitor, but idk. I'll post a picture later.
Once I get some money I'll let you guys know which one I'm doing first. Right now, I need to study for finals. So, if anybody knows where to find parts and the prices for these projects it would be much appreciated if you could post them for me
No, I like Make Trax, but not enough to make one. I'm happy playing it in Mame.
The JROK board is JAMMA.
Hmm.. Jamma would make things a lot easier. I think I might look into that some more..
UPDATE:Ok, real quick, here's some pictures of what I've done and the problem with the monitor.
See the gap?
So far all I've done is move the power supply into the cabinet, along with the other part of the power supply. (Which actually might work) Next I'm going to switch the coinmechs. (The one on there is missing a coin flap and the button sticks.) I would of taken a picture of the monitor lit up, but it makes a really high pitched hum when it's on. (gives me a headache) Any ideas how to get rid of it?
UPDATE:Nevermind. Turns out I need a black bezel for the monitor. The only problem is that it needs to be 13'. Anyone know where to find one?
Also. Does ANYBODY have any idea where I can get a Robotron board set from?!?
UPDATE:I've been working a little on the other power supply I have and I could use some help. I found some vague diagrams on the internet, but since this is dealing with the power supply I don't want to take any chances. I basically can't tell what wire go strait to the monitor and what ones go to the power supply box.
I'll upload a picture tomorrow so you know what I'm talking about. Until then, I just have one question. Is the earth ground really necessary? I feel like everything should run fine without it. I guess I just want to know what exactly it does before I take the time to do it.
