Plenty of room for extras. I no longer need a keyboard or mouse. Google "joy2mouse" if you are gonna use a joystick encoder.

Thanks for that. Do you ever sit to this cab? Im guessing you just took the defender plans and made them wider?
I like the defender cab but was worried about the control panel being to small for 6 buttons+trackball.

As for the whole mouse issue....... Its not that important ;D I plan on connecting it to my home network to update etc so I would like a easy access keybord.

Yeah, I just made it a little wider...27" inside width. My control panel is not deep enough to mount a 3" trackball. I didn't factor it in when I made the cab. I missed by about an inch. Click my link below and you'll see the big difference between the CP area on my 1st and 2nd cab.

27" is wide enough for 2-player setup like Street Fighter, plus a 3" trackball. Click below to see the 3rd cab I'm working on.

Do I ever sit to it? ...I was looking for a barstool today at Costco...

Are you gonna network to with a program like UltraVNC? I use it for other computers in the house...but until now I never thought of connecting to my cabs!

...oh wait, I don't think I can with nLited XP. All the network stuff was stripped...

I like the second cab. Ive measured some doors in my house (should have done this a while ago!) and 'adjusting' the defender cab. Im also thinking of moving the coin door down and making its normal place thinnner and a bit longer to get a bigger cp in.

As for networking I havent thought that far ahead. I was gona do it the basic way with my wireless kit thoriugh windows.

Visitor Q:

I like the size and shape (for the most part) of my UAII cab but it is no where near compact.
