Hello, I'm a long time lurker these forums, and i've always wanted to build my own cabinet. I've been slowly acquiring parts and materials, and now i have the opportunity to get started but i still have a couple of questions. So far I have acquired: Computer TV 2 Happ Ultimate Joysticks, Unfortunately they both came with 4-way Actuators (95-1307-00), so i'd like to either buy 8 way actuators (95-0267-00) or maybe new joysticks. & 17 Push Buttons of various colors for inputs, i soldered everything to 2 USB gamepads which work pretty well, there is an annoying delay around 1/2 a second that exist from input to an action in-game. The problem are the cheap game pads. I'd preferably like to purchase a GP-Wiz and some extra buttons for menu, pause etc... I was wondering where the best place to purchase these for I am in Canada. Also a friend of mine is a sheet metal fabricator and he offered to build me the entire cabinet out of 16 gauge stainless steel or aluminum CNC Milled to the dimensions I specify. Has anyone attempted this? or can anyone foresee any issues with a full metal cabinet? Thanks for the Advice =Gamentine |

I am in Canada and I order from GGG direct. With the currrent rate of exchange it is a really good deal now. Buy your buttons and joys from any of the major sellers in Buy and Sell. Very good prices. If you can get a good metal cab from your friend go for it. It will be unique and strong. |

Starburst out of Toronto was great to deal with for my project. Check out my project log. |
