Hi. I am new to mame... I recently started a cab all hand built (if you want pictures ask) I am going for the dance dance revolution look
I am using an ipac 2 with 8 illuminated pushbuttons by happ (numbers 71-0004-T5, 57-0004-53, 57-0004-40,and 57-0004-41) I was wondering how i would make them light up? thanks

I haven't used Happ's light-up buttons, but looking at the pictures, there are metal connectors on the sides of the microswitch assembly.  The connectors in the back are for connecting the actual button, so the ones on the sides must be for giving power to the lamp; one side will be ground, the other power.  You can hook up those connectors to the power connectors within the computer - the molex connectors with 4 wires.  Of those 4 wires, the outer two are power (positive): orange is 5v and yellow is 12v, and the middle two wires are ground (negative).  Which outer-wire you hook the light up to of course depends on the light voltage (I see Happ has both 6v and 12v LED's).

i am pretty sure i have the 12s... I have no idea what i need to do... is there a website that will tell me how to wire up the molex? like what kind of wire do i need? etc?

That's pretty cool looking. Where'd you get those speakers?
