Gauging Interest: Custom built LED Harnesses

Lol. Yeah that would suck, but if I had enough lead time what he needed, then I could possibly do some.

3 LED harness = $4.00
6 LED harness = $5.50
7 LED harness = $6.00
Plus shipping of course. When you mass buy though, the costs go much lower, so 4 bucks for a 3 LED harness would give you probably 50% profit. If there's sufficient interest though. Im sure if people only need one, they could make their own. Now if there's a special header connection needed, then that could be different. You and buddabing could work together so he needs a harness and you supply it, although that would kinda suck.

If the prices are that low or anywhere up to ~$15-17, I'd definately be in for 2 to 3. Only other service like this I have seen ends up at ~25-30 bucks >:(

Thats exactly why I think its needed. I have contacted Gamecab and Buddabing about what would be required for the harnesses to be compatible for the upcoming LED controller. Looks like we will soon find out heh.

So basically the harness is kind of like a string of Christmas tree lights. Instead of plugging them into the wall, they have a 4-pin molex connector which connects to the PC's power supply. When the computer is on, the lights are on solid. When you turn the computer off, the LEDs go off. If you had a 2-player control panel with 7 buttons each, you would buy two 7-LED harnesses to provide each button with one LED. Am I following correctly? If so, I would definitely be interested. I like the look of Knievel's NEON MAME where he lit each button with two LEDs. Any thoughts of making harnesses that have two LEDs per button?
I am also highly interested in BuddaBing's LED controller for lighting only the buttons used in the games, so a harness for this would be great too.

Yeah thats pretty much it in a nutshell. lol
