I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I finished wiring the rest of the lights for my buttons from Whammoed(two lightmite setups that I had to solder). I also made a new light for my trackball. I used a 2.4w 20mA red led that was 5000mcd's. I used a 10 ohm resister in line just to be safe the 5 watts wouldn't blow it. I soldered them all to a board and put a post on it to hook up the + and -. I am very happy with the brightness. I had used 12v on my old cabinet, and I had not yet updated the to the 5v needed for the ledwiz. I have been doing some simple soldering, and it's not so bad. The internets is your friend! :applaud:

Okay, while I had a burr in my butt, I decided to put the marquee glass in behind the plexi along with the new sign from mamemarquees.com. I also snugged up the volume control and permanently mounted the volume knob. I also mounted the cupholders(which was very exciting). I'm now working on getting atomicfe and mala running. I want to try both out to see which has better implementation with the ledwiz and the betabright.

I can't speak to its ability to handle the lighting, but I found Mala very easy to set-up.

Thanks for the heads up! I started on mala tonight and was able to get it running. I haven't looked into the other features, but I was glad I was able to get it up and running.

Here are some quick pics of the cabinet, the trackball light, and the volume control.
