You might want to rethink putting something above the trackball. If you get carried away during a game, you might jam your finger. Just ask Frizzle: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=62997.msg626653#msg626653 |

the gray thing above the trackball is a dedicated ball top four way. Since I'm getting 360's, they have auto switch from 8 way to 4 way to analog, etc., I'm just eliminating the four way altogether. Still have spinner up there though. I'll guess I could move it above the P1 action buttons. Thanks for the suggestion! Anyone else have any other two bits they want to drop in on my machine? ;D |

Did I mention "build it" yet? If not... BUILD IT! ;D |

You should run the IPAC to the PS/2 and run a keyboard thru it. You can skip the opti-pac (unless you have a need that you didn't mention here). This is then only 4 USB ports, and almost all mobos made in the last few years have at least that many. I agree, it does take a while to fully research a cab. There is A LOT of info out there to sift through! I've been researching daily for about 4 months now, and have changed my mind a few times about stuff/my plan along the way... Rick |

How does that work to run a keyboard through the ipac? Yes yes. It'll get to that part of building it. I swear :angel: But just like you, I'm still planning everything out and have a million questions that need answering regarding the structure, ease of use, interchangeable parts, parts to use, type of paint, should i even paint or use laminate, laminate the inside, etc. I get thoughts in my head and i write them down. I have a huge list. Here is some of the things I still have to ponder and go through. Maybe some of you guys can answer them for me. Of course, some of them are just deciding on a personal preference lucite or plexiglass amount of angle on the action buttons type of casters to use micro switch or leaf buttons how to be turn on tv when powering system up where to add shift and other buttons where to add power button Where to get the fluorescent light adding power within the cab dust washer above or below CP surface mount or underneath mamewah or a different front end color of t-molding color of buttons color of the cab lighted buttons speaker grills 5.1 sound system volume control and where power cord that doesnt get smashed when pushing the cab towards a wall etc etc... |
