well i have an old cab, and that one was converted into a mame machine, so a lot of questions were newbie questions so a lot of those posts were...."hey what's a quick diconnect and what do i do with it?"  so yeah, i started out with no knowledge whatsoever of wiring or arcade anything!  ANYWAY....i want this cab to be perfect, so im asking what everybody else does to try to avoid making mistakes.  understand?

ahhhh, now i feel better ;D  

nipsmg:

I had 2 different handles and way over 1000 posts (between arcadecontrols.speedhost.com- the old message board, and this one) before I attempted to build everything.  If you're a college kid and have no #, all you can do is learn as much as possible and soak up all the info you can until you get enough $$$ to do it.

Now that I'm out of college and have a very well paying job, it's much easier to get stuff done :)

Stingray:

I built my first CP before I even discovered this board.  ;D Of course I quickly realised that I did almost everything wrong, junked it and started over. So there's something to be said for asking a lot of questions before you start building stuff!

I agree with NoOne=NBA= just measure your deepest control and there's your depth. 5" would probably be more than enough room. Unless you're using some really old joysticks (like those monster Atari sticks I've got) you could probably go a couple inches shallower.
