you know the ones you see at the bar that sit right onthe bar top.  usually with some gambling game inside.

what are they called and does anyone have any simple building plans for one?

I think what you might be after is something like the Megatouch Touchmaster.

If you plan to use a joystick, I doubt you want a swivel (lazy susan).  Seems it would make joystick play difficult.

Oh, the memories of living on pizza subs and Dr Pepper...

The games for the megatouch aren't emulated just so you know. And spectre i don't know where you've seen a merit megatouches for cheap. If they have a bill changer in them they usually sell for somewhere between $1000 to $5000 at auction. Those things are like goldmines for bars and last for years.

I think he plans to use a joystick and everything with it, he probably is doing a mini mame cab... not a touch screen cab...

Are you going to go with a 9" screen or a 14" screen, or something else?

There's a few on ebay right now that've been going for around $15 plus $15 shipping. Axion SVGA Color 9". Just picked up two over the weekend.
