Thanks IG, I think I found what I need at Home depot, and a buddy of mine at work has agreed to cut the piece to the size I need.

Small update: Thought I'd add some pictures/video of the led's in action.  It hard to see them with the still shots, but you get the idea.  The video is using gameex led plugin:

You could fit a turbo2 spinner from groovy game gear in there for sure!

I have a spinner, but I rarely use it...

I love the colors scheme!!!  To bad you could recess the mounting plate for the trackball and cover it with the reset of the laminate.

Great look!!  Can't wait for updates

I'd be really interested to see how the PC fits inside :D
Pics when you're finished please?  :notworthy:

I'm sure I could get the spinner in there, I'm just afraid it would be to close to the plexi covering the monitor.  It would have been nice to hide the track plate, but with it being premade it wasn't an option.


Here are some new pictures, not much progress, as I'm redoing my main arcade machine atm. The pc fits nicely, but there doesn't seem to be a way to wire a button to the motherboard for powering it on.  Its got some sort of proprietary dell component going on.  The power buttons connects through a couple of smaller boards and a small ribbon cable. 

I plan on using this small opening to reach in and power the system on.  It was meant for a fan, but this seems to be the best option for powering the system on.  I will cover the hole with some sort of fan grill that will still allow me to hit the button:



Here is a picture of the pc.  It's an older dell P4 small form factor:


I replaced the peg board back with a 5/8 inch mdf sheet. I primed and painted it with a roller brush.  I think it turned out nicely and gives more support than the thin board it came with:
