Anyone ever try to make a lighted Marquee holder?

2PacMan:
Anyone ever try to make a lighted Marquee holder to display the Marquee itself.  Something like a wood box with a light in to display a marquee that you could sit on a desk or something??

I think it'd be a cool addition to a game room and it wouldn't be that hard to make, and it'd look better than just hanging the marquees from a wall.   

Chris:
These are called "lightboxes", and they are fairly common projects.  Also used for displaying pinball backglasses/translites.

2PacMan:
Do you know anywhere i can get some specs on how to build a lightbox?  It would be for a standard arcade marquee.

Stingray:
Well, you build a box of the correct width and height to fit the marquee and the correct depth to fit a flourescent light fixture. There isn't a lot more to it than that.

Chris:
Vent holes would probably be good, too.
