New Gameroom Advice Sought

Actually going back to that phase.  I've been downsizing my collection and keeping my most interesting pieces.  I'm just going for a more open look.  I've noticed that most people aren't as into the arcade thing, so I've decided to add other things to the room to keep it interesting.  I get bored in my arcade all alone...funny I didn't think I would.  I would like opinions on lighting as well.  I'm thinking of LED for the low power consumption as well as colorfull effect.  Any recommendations there?

Thanks,
Geo

Oh, that is more where I am now, at one point I had 20 games in my apartment, I have slowly been getting rid of everything besides the "OH MY GOD" items. I play more games now that I only have 7 machines in the apartment than when I had 20.

Buy a Candy Neo Geo, you will be happy with it. I have Time Pilot '84 running in mine right now.

I have wanted one of those Candy cabs...err...machines for some time now.  I could easily slip down to L.A. one weekend and get one.  Probably will when I complete the new room.

Electrically, plan ahead, more is better.  More single circuits, the better.  Do the math and see what draw will be where.  Don't plan on what you have, plan ahead on what you WILL have in the future.  More double outlets, the better.  You don't want to have 20 machines in the year 2007, and only the ability to have only 10 machines running.
