Those who have built a cab a couple of years ago...

Bob Roberts carries these as well, although they are expensive (even if they are in his "Klearance Korner"). ;)
See here.

I built mine almost exactly two years ago (and built two since then) and I would do it all the same, except I would buy a new trackball instead of messing with a junky used one (ended up spending more making it like new than I could have bought a new one for).
DOS
Gamelauncher
Keywiz
WG D9200 27"
homebuilt Simpsons style cabinet
used over/under coin door (repainted it)
2-player panel / 6 buttons each
J-sticks ***
*** The J-sticks are the only thing I might change if I were building the same thing right now. I would probably go with some Omni Stick Pros with a classic ball top style stick.
I also would probably use some transparent leaf buttons with some kind of illumination behind them.

I'd still do the mouse hack for my trackball and spinners

That's exactly what I sent him- I just didn't post the link publicly, so nobody else grabbed them before SirPoonga got a chance at them.
Last week, somebody posted a link to the Klearance Korner, and the Nintendo 2-ways that were up on there got grabbed almost right away. I know, because when I tried to order them, Bob said it was funny, they'd been sitting around there for months, and all of a sudden he gets more than one person trying to grab them one right after the other. :P

If they ended up gone, I would probably send him a few of mine out of guilt. ;)
