Build yer own. I copied it from Yaksplat's idea. Here's a link to my build thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=117977.msg1267034#msg1267034 AJ |

I am still very new to this and my electrical wiring experience is limited, but you have to start somewhere. :shrug: Ended up reading the manual online, didn't think about that. It all came together and makes sense. MonMotha, yes, you were correct. I assume I would just run a 18 ga wire from that first pin -5VA on that connector in the pic to a +5VA pin on the molex connector of the computer PSU. Is that right? Powerstrip seems like a great solution. It would be nice to wire the ON/OFF switch on top of the cabinet to a power strip or to the computer and plug the computer |

Not a good idea if you have a 5V bulb... Or maybe I just got you wrong in some way. |
