I would like to build a similar controller box to the one in the pictures. I live in Canada. I'm looking for the best place online to buy all the pieces except the Pandora's Box. Maybe if someone can post me a list of what I need to buy. Allso wondering if it is possible to change the VGA plug in to a HDMI plug in. Any help or suggestions would be great. I am a real rookie so this will be my first attempt at something like this. Thanks

You'd need a separate converter for the VGA to HDMI, I think they are about $30 off Amazon.

don't make the same joystick placement mistake. :laugh2:

Very true.
Friends warn friends about possible crotch-sticks, Joynicorns (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129794.msg1327821.html#msg1327821), and face-covering buttons. ;D

The pink buttons are P1 and P2 Start.

I'd not bother with the Pandora's box 4. I have a PB3, and the only difference is a handful of extra games. Save the cash and get a PB3 unless one of the few added games is a must have for you.

Thank you. Like I said I am new to all this and I appreciate the help. Could you tell me if my list looks ok before I go and order my parts?
-
Yeah, it looks fine. Keep in mind though that a lot of JAMMA harnesses don't have the wires for buttons 4, 5, 6. Make sure the one you order is fully stuffed. You also may just want to grab a kit. I just bought this one from Twisted Quarter. Great communication, fast shipping.
