A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
Not much progress but I did come across this.
More details here.

It's 380$, but it's a touchscreen to boot and it's designed to fit in a 5.25 drive bay. Why? Hmm. Why Not?
It'd be cool in something, though I'm not sure I could fit it in with my cab.
Bender:
I know it's 7" diagonal but... how does that thing fit into a 5.25 drive bay?
looks like a single DIN size for a car stereo
any luck on the Trackball front yet?
drventure:
no, I'm still waiting for the second attempt to arrive. 2 weeks and counting! sheesh.
The first one (that crystal ball) would have been fantastic. After talking with the guy at WorldGlobes, appearently, those crystal globes aren't "manufactured" per se, they're all hand made, so they vary in size quite dramatically.
I asked, but he said he really couldn't go opening up all the boxes and measuring them all to find one that was +actually+ 3" dia :) Oh well.
This other one I've found says it's 3", and I spoke with the manufacturer and they verfied, but it's 1/8" acrylic, so I'm guessing if the size really does work, I'll drill a small hole in it and fill it with optically clear epoxy.
In the meantime, I've been upholstering some covers for the side lifts. I'll have pics up soon.
Benevolance:
I think the 3" wooden juggling ball would make for an awesome track ball in a steam punk desk. Stained to match the rest of the cabinet, it would help visually pull the wood elements down from the upper tier to the lower.
drventure:
True enough. I think I'll get one to try it out.
The only downside is I won't be able to backlight it with an LED. The globe looked incredible backlit like that.
