Well, I did it... I ordered a mini-pac (w/o harness), a t-stik, and a t-stik plus. Looks like I'll be building my first CP soon! Of course there is still lots to do. I need to order buttons, start designing a layout, blah, blah, blah.
Thanks to all who have posted such helpful info on this board!

After you make a mock up make sure and give some pics to help with suggestions. Congratulations, the outcome is well worth the effort. I have three roomates here at Florida State University and the machine has not been turned off since it got here. GOOD LUCK!

Well, my Ultimarc order arrived today! ;D
I got a whole bag of buttons the other day as well. I still haven't designed my CP layout, but I just got a bunch of buttons in different colors. I'm sure I'll find a use for them all.
I've also got a new complete set of ROMs that should arrive in the next day or two. My current ROMs are from '97 or '98.
I can't wait to get this thing going! I still haven't "negotiated" a position for a full cabinet yet. Our house is quite small. Looks like I may have to start construction on that game room in the basement sooner that I thought. For now I'll just have to live with a control panel only.

what type of cab are you considering?
a cocktail cab might be a good choice if space is limited - plus has added feature of being somewhere to rest your beer ;D
if you like fighting games put a 3rd CP on it.
here is an awesome example (but larger than most cocktails)...

if you dont want to do a custom build - kits are available from http://www.arcadedepot.com from what i've seen on here they give really good service.
