If those are the same ones I bought from RS, I haaaaaaaaaate them... RS used to have a ton of buttons but now the selection is like 5 kinds. I got these from Ebay; just waiting on them to arrive: Cost $0.99 for the auction win and $9.00 for shipping. I got a pack of 10. |

hehehe...My pause button is black 1/2 inch diameter...( friend of mine gave me a few)...the ones from Radio Crap...its that 4 pack special...with the little buttons...2 red/ 2 blk... I didnt want to hack up my tankstick...so what i did was i mounted everything on my keyboard drawer underneath the tankstick... Now all i have to do now is figure out how to rig a lock on the drawer... with little work as possible.... Its funny but I spend more time fixing and setting up stuff instead of playing the damn thing!.... :laugh2: |

Its more about the build, IMHO. Dont get me wrong, its for the games, but there is just something about the build... Plus figuring out how keyboards and gamepads work is neat too. Everyone I talk to about it suggests I have kids to take up the "extra" time I have... weird. They are just jealous parents! |

--- Quote ---If I wanted to PLAY games I would have just got a X Arcade... Its more about the build, IMHO --- End quote --- Couldn't have said it better myself. But, there are plenty of people that just want a box to play the old games on. Nothing wrong with that either. I guess I'm also viewing the cab build as more of an artistic expression/functional work of art that just a video game cab. For me anyway, the build itself has been just as much if not more fun that playing it will be. And I've had my 5 year old daughter helping me all the way, which has made it even more fun! Nothing like watching a 4 yo (at the time) using wire strippers, connecting up all the buttons and then getting to test all the connections out on the computer. She got the biggest kick out when she realized that connecting all those wires actually let the buttons talk to the computer :) |

My 2 year old is somewhat doing the same thing....She tells her mommy that "daddy is working on his toy"... and she runs to try to help me "fix" whatever I am doing... Plus I have to stop her before she jabs a screwdriver into my CPU...( scary!) |
