I just noticed this on ebay:

What are the applications of a power supply like this? Would this be a good way to power the lights in my cab? I know that I can always run power from my computer power supply, but I'd prefer not to.

Thats the kind of power supply you would find in a "real" arcade game.  You could use it to power lights in your cab for the coin door and such but you can also do that with a spare computer power supply....turn it on by connecting the green wire to a ground wire.  Or you can use super bright leds for you coin door and use the exising computer power supply since they draw very little current.
RayB:
Coin door lights don't drain that much power, do they? No reason why you couldn't power them from the one PC power supply.

As for Marquee lighting, most people install a florescent light fixture that runs off the 120v, so it wouldn't go through your PC PS, NOR would it go through an arcade PS either.
