Hi guys, I'm new here but I"ve been lurking for a while and finally decided to jump in.  I just want your input on parts so far, and I had a question. 

Computer: Matx
14' lcd
AMD athlonXP 2400
1024 PC3200 ram
Radeon 9200se
250gb hard drive

I'm trying to build a super mini bartop pc!
Arcade parts:
Guts from a Arcade X solo (thanks mame master)
4' JL audio coaxial speakers powered by Sonic T-amp (you can gut it, and it can play 4ohm loads, perfect for this project)
Delphi mini keyboard- VERY small
Marcus 2' trackball, I think you guys should look into this one, I've felt a feel trackballs out there and I bought this one off ebay- apparently they make trackballs for industrial and businesses, feels solid and great!

I saw this thing:

Do you see that power connector plug?  I was in home depot and couldnt find something like that, can anybody direct me?  Thanks!

With the power thingy, I think if you go to any computer place, ask them for a dead power supply, you should be able to strip one of them out of it.  I'm not sure if your looking for the specific smaller plug that's on the other end, that may be tricker, but the main end, definatly an old power supply.

How are your parts? That PC is better than a lot of stand-up cabs'. A super mini bartop PC indeed.

Yes, eccs19 is right, that is a PC powersupply plug. There are tons of resources for them online. Just search and you should be able to find something for cheap.

Are you by chance in Ontario? I've got a couple of dead PSU, that I could pull one out and send to you.  If your not local, then it would probably cost you more for shipping then what it's worth. In that case, do as I suggested earlier, and hit up some computer shops for a dead PSU, and rip it out.

So far?  You've gone WAAAAAAAAY overboard!  That pc should be able to handle multiple bartops at the same time.

And speaking of overboard.  4 foot speakers?  A 2 foot trackball?  That practically IS the bartop!
