I picked up a Die Hard cab. Its one of those plastic molded jobs. Im planning on keeping it black (repainting it though) and just adding a marquee and a cp overlay.
Here is what the marquee looks like right now

And this is a mock up of the machine

Im going to shoehorn a trackball on the cp although I might have to drop down to 2.25" (hoping for 3"). The cab has plates in the top middle portion of the cp where coin slots were. Im planning on reformating that area to house a small lcd screen that will show a diagram of controls depending what game you are playing. to each side of it will be admin buttons like pause and exit, perhaps save.
oh and of course I will have the usual coin and player buttons. Im hoping to find some that are black with a white base...the reverse of the player buttons.
What do you think?
