jholman76:
I would also be very interested to know where you got the games. I have a 15" touch screen I'd LOVE to do this with. I've tried to ask others where they get them from and no one has a straight answer.
thanks.

The name caught my eye too...but then I read the first line; "I know its kinda ugly, but its rough, so be gentle." :dunno
I also suppose the photo on the LED bar was not rotated for a reason?

Smuckers? HAHAHAHA
OK, so finally a bit of progress. I finally stuffed all the wires inside, the 1 foot cords made HUGE difference. The speakers (not pictured) still take up too much room, so Im lookin for a set of small USB powered cheapies so long as they sound pretty good, but the price of the project is jumping REALLY quickly :/
quick pic of the 1 foot cords installed, I love monoprice.
heres everything stuffed inside like a turkey, the pink LEDs are laying on the table:
I put the scraps of reflective vinyl on the back of the monitor.
Here is the stand alone controller for the touch cade, pink buttons on order:
Controller is powered by a 360 wired controller:

8 months later......
wiped the HD, installed TinyXP, it runs sooooo much better now. Its still pretty boring looking on the outside, so I spiced up the back a bit.....(pix below)
I need to order 3 or 4 more pink LED strips so you can see the outline on the wall behind the touchcade. Still havent ordered pink buttons yet.
I'll also be finding new better speakers, the USB powered ones I have are ok, but I want this little box to bump.
