Have you got a way of controlling the speed for the fan's If not I would highly recommend you get one. 2 of those fans at 1800 RPM kick up a lot of noise. Tweak them back to about 1200 and they are lovely. I'm sure someone here could tell me how to do it with some wire and resisitors but the £2 for a speed controller was worth it.
If you haven't already purchased then try something like these which have a built in controller.

Not spraying, using a roller.
If it make a lot of noise i will use a fan controller.
These fan's using 12V or i can try to connect them to 5V ;)
I think i wil not hear them because there is comming a lot of sound out of this Bartop, 2.1 soundsystem incl subwoofer.
The most noise is comming from the hard drive....
Almighty:
today painted the last parts and final layer on my Bartop.
marquee holders/bezel:
i wil buy white screws or black or i paint them.
last layer white gloss paint (3 times)
you can see the shiny refelection on the Bartop.

I think this weekend it's ready :D

Anyway I wouldn't bother with a scanline generator, unless you plan to use a real PCB (like a neogeo MVS), go for software scanlines. Set the resolution to the native LCD and use "effect" in mame with a good overlay picture or HLSL if you have a powerful gfx card. I think MAME effect does e better job then slg if your LCD does 1280x1024 or more... and much cheaper!

thanks for the feedback!
I am using windows xp and my card is 512mb Ati card.
pc spec's: P4 dual core E4300/3Gb/160Gb/DVDRW/X1650.
Where can i download/find a good overlay for mame, because never tried that and i tought it was easier too use a SLG ;)
And do i have to chance the mame ini file?
My max resolution for the lcd is 1600X1200 (4:3)

You can find many overlays here: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=117585&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1
The ones I personally prefer are Scanlines75Dx4.png and ApertureHRES.png from John IV or aperturescan1280.png from rens .
remember tu set "switchres 0"
BTW, great work on your bartop!
Almighty:
And there is light ;)
buttons/stick placed back and looks nice on that shiny white control panel.
Last but not least, here is my Marquee artwork, i present you the 'MIGHTY CADE' 8)
Great matching color with the light's, buttons and stick.
