I got a lepai amp. I also have two push buttons that will be mounted on the cabinet and connect to my encoder. I created a script to have the push buttons change the computers system volume up or down. I'll just turn it up and adjust the amp accordingly for maximum volume. Then he user can adjust the volume and I don't have to worry about them blowing my ear drums. |

I bought a cheap-ish all-in-one speaker system from Wall Mart similar to this. I looked for one with a lip around the controls, a seam between them and the upper part of the speaker. I cut off the top part of the speaker and use the bottom as my controller and then wired in some 6" car speakers along with the subwoofer. I cut a notch in the side of my CP right under the lid for mounting. It works really well. Looks good and you get a sub, power button, headphone jack, led indicator and volume pot for ~$20. |

These are all awesome ideas. I'm new to arcade building/restoration, so I'm thankful for this forum. I start my project next Friday. |

I wrote a program with a couple of really nice features that worked very well but I ended up using an analog pot and never really finalized the code. Like someone mentioned, a dial tends to be more intuitive. |

Check out the Griffin Powermate: http://store.griffintechnology.com/powermate Plugs into USB. Nice thing I like is it operates independently from your game spinner and controls. Just got one and am using it on my bartop with Windows 7 32 bit. Easily programs to volume once software is installed. Turn the knob for volume and press it for mute on/off. |
