X-gaming: $60, plug and play.  Not a translucent ball though.

The way I mounted mine, there are no through bolts, etc:

I just read that thread the other day and FINALLY got around to mounting my trackball from underneath like you did.  I bought the metal strapping but haven't screwed it in place yet - I'm hoping Sunday...

Thanks for the replies guys. I wasn't aware of the X-arcade version so I will have to do some research into that one. Can you use the mounting plate for that one too? I like yours also severed; didn't know the ultimarc could be mounted that cleanly. Does the resolution or smoothness of spin differ from any of these models?

If resolution (and very bright lighting) is important to you (better function at the desktop and with PC games meant for a mouse) then there is only one arcade trackball which currently offers this functionality as a standard feature.  Unfortunately, it's out of stock at the moment, due to manufacturer backorder.

No mounting plate required.  Just some long bolts or screws.  I routed out the underside of my CP just a bit and the whole trackball housing is mounted up to it.  It's completely enclosed.  It is kinda large, but as you can see from my CP above, I have dual trackballs and still had plenty of room for buttons and two rotary 8-ways.
