Do you like shooting games, like T2, revolution X, police Trainer, or House of the Deads(PC)? If so you should get a light gun, although i dont know if that would be any fun on a cocktail cable...  :-\

LMAO.....somehow I just totally had the vision of " shooting fish in a barrel "

I'm still up in the air about putting a small TB on it for centipede and such...

Ultimarc sells their small trackball for very cheap, I got one  :), you should look into that.

Hey are the Ultimarc trackballs good?  Ive been looking into one and theyre so much cheaper than Happs ones, I wanted to know if size was the only difference.

You definately won't need the video amp.
A couple things come to mind:

White plexi that goes behind the control panels, and some lights to illuminate it.
A couple fans for cooling.

The ultimarc trackballs are great, very small though...

I was looking into the Ulti 2 1/4" TB but was afraid my panel would get to cluttered....still in the air on it.  But the fans and fan grills, speaker grills totally missed my mind.  I ordered the kit today, so should have within a week hopefully. Was think about putting a toggle inside the coin door to shut the coin buttons off when people try to sneak over and play....hehe.....YOU PAY NOW.....although my coin mechs will accept anything.......hell....it worked with a small poker chip

Im sure they wont care whether they have to spend a penny to play your game :)  If you dont tell them it accepts anything though, how long will it take before curiosity kills them and they find out.
