I started this out thinking it would be no problem well I was wrong I thought buying an old cab would save some
time and cash but now I'm lost. I know I thought I had to buy a I-pac but as I read more I am led to believe I need
a J-Pac which is right? Oh and with the J-Pac or I-Pac do I need to get a optipac for my trackball?

The first question i have is are you building a standard mame cabinet (pc) or a jamma cabinet? If its a standard pc mame cabinet use an I-pac!! and get an optipac for your trackball!! They are both manditory for the best response! Also be sure to check out the http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/ it is well put together and great for noobs like myself! these are great peices of hardware!! and make sure you check out divemaster127 vendor page (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47066.0) great prices and its good to have some trade points beside your name!!
Any more questions feel free to fire away!

Sorry, I am building a standard mame pc but with the arcade monitor
thanks for the new site good info!
dafelandry:
with an Arcade monitor you definatly NEED an arcadevga card which that seller sells as well.... You might know that already but good call on the classic arcade monitor it definatly gives it a nice perfectly scaled feel!! Good luck and have fun!
