VERY nice!! One thing; the trakball circle .. seems too oval, unless the image is squashed.
So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

CPO is awesome, very Giger-esqe.
I think the marquee looks kind of plain in comparison. Could use art more similar to the COP to tie the themes together.

Rounded-trackball CPO looks great.

2nd marquee looks great.

Doing side art or bezel art too?

Neat.

Got a pictue of the side of your cab, or can you overlay it on a pic of a cab, so we could see size & placement?  Not sure how/where a triangle shape would fit on a cab side.

no, no pics of cab that I could show it on the way i want it to be. Best way to describe what i want placement wise is about the same as on Knievel's neon mame cab. If you know what Im talking about.

Quick question -- Im planning on having 22 buttons, 2 eight way joysticks, 1 four way joystick, a spinner and a trackball. What is my best bet for interface?? IPAC or mini-pac???

Thanks again
