How is this parts list?
fantoboy:
I'm putting together a parts list for a bartop. Can you tell me if there's any better alternatives to some of these in either quality or price? I have Amazon Prime, so I'd get free shipping on Amazon. Thanks in advance for any advice
I plan on using Sanwa JLF sticks and Seimitsu buttons since I like Street Fighter. Is there a preferred place to purchase these? Focusattack.com ?
Asus Evo monitor (low lag time, recommended for Street Fighter)

4" speakers- I just picked something that had decent reviews and is fairly chep:

Marquee lights (Is this too many for a bartop? Can I use half of these and save the other half for another cabinet?)

I already have an old pc laying around, hopefully I'll be able to fit a full ATX in there
kiwasabi:
Looks good. Those are the speakers and amp people on here recommended to me as well.
I used the Monster smart strip which is about $5 cheaper than the one you linked:

Also, I got this Viewsonic monitor when it was on sale for $140 on Amazon (it's currently $150). I'm not sure how it compares to the Asus though in terms of latency.

Mini-Pac is fairly expensive for $70, you might check out the Groovygamegear alternatives.
fantoboy:
Thanks. I saw that power strip, but I'm concerned with space issues within a bartop. That one looks twice as wide
rCadeGaming:
Focus Attack is a good place to buy. Can I ask why you're going with Seimitsu buttons?
If you're into fighting games, I wouldn't buy anything without a confirmed low input lag. The "EVO" monitor will obviously a good choice. ASUS has also made a newer model of that which is another ms faster:

I'm typing on it right now, just came in the mail two days ago. I got a low lag monitor for the PC in case I want to plug my PS3 into it or something, and it was cheap. It looks decent. There are some minor color issues, especially with some uneven backlighting, everything is a tiny bit brighter on far left side. I saw it right away on a test pattern while calibrating, and I notice it in Google Chrome sometimes, but I doubt anyone would notice it during gameplay. I haven't tried any games on it yet, but I can fire some up to see if you're interested.
fantoboy:
It seemed like Seimitsu was getting a lot of love on SRK, do you recommend Sanwa?

I'll look into that monitor, thanks for the info. Weird that the listed dimensions are so different. I'm using a Haruman flat-pack. Gotta see if the newer measurements would fit
