my first cab
DirtyDachshunds:
For the spinner I use a spintrak and couldn't be happier. I've also heard good things about GGG's spinner. Both can interface via usb with no drivers needed.
Either would be a good choice

cool. will check them out. yeah thats only thing that matters to me is they run off USB. saw a couple that were for jama cabs. im guessing. saw one on ebay made from plastic for 30.00 thought, price maybe good compared to a 100.00 others seem to run.. but i want durability. metal!!

I can vouch for the GGG Turbo Twist. Solid device.

sounds good ill give the GGG team a try, thanks for the recommendation you two! looks like they even sell a snap on steering wheel for said spinner. dunno if i have enough room for it between the plexi and the spinners location.
also i see they sell LED buttons and ledwiz for when i do my sisters cab. so yeah will give them a try.
well i procrastinated yesterday. i bolted the trackball in and hooked up the three buttons. laughs.
now im in the process of looking for a spot on the board to mount the ipac2 using them little plastic feet things.
then ill daisy chain up the ground. ( i plan on hooking up the pinball buttons after i get the computer up and running so i can see which buttons to wire them too.. seems the most logical.. than just hooking them into a random button which i really have no idea what buttons do what at this point in time ) and go from there. i can be a slacker, ill admit it. at least with things that are new to me.
also future plans for this box im calling a arcade cab is some guns. there are three brands it seems.
aimtrack, EMS top gun, and last act labs. i am probably going to be using a LCD, as finding a crt is almost impossible these days. laughs.
and it seems aimtrack as was recommended DirtyDachshunds would be the best choice for the flat screen LCDs. ( i just wish the darn flat screens were square. i have 24" i can fit a monitor in.. but most flat screens that are 20-24 are only 16" or so tall. blah, rants )
so all i have left to buy for my cab is a monitor ( i do have a few laying around i can throw in for the mean time tho. i do have one tv i could use that has s video but id have to de-case it.. and i do not really want to deal with that at this point because ill be rebuilding my cab sometime next year and the only thing i know about that build is its gonna be a thin line as this thing takes up more space than i like.. funny how, things on paper do not seem all that big till its sitting in front of you@ ) a ggg spinner, and the aimtrack light bar kit and the gun shell.
also anyone have any tips on posting a picture on this forum? i tried using the links of the pictures and they do not show. my next project i want to document on here so we can all learn from my mistakes. iv learn a lot from reading other peoples builds. and lets face it. most people do not want to follow a link to look at a picture while reading the text. they just look and move on. im guilty of it sometimes. :(
