I was looking on ebay, and saw a bunch of megatouch parts. What would I need other than a megatouch mother board, 19" touch screen, a harddrive and a key. What kind of power supply would I need, and monitor? Or would I be better off finding a whole machine. Around here, they seem to be $1000 and up though.

You'd need the sound/credit board. That's what the key plugs into.

Take a look on ebay for a seller named MWGRICE. I have bought two Megatouches off him, both have been excellent.
He is a amusement vendor here in Northeast Ohio (Cleveland area). He sells the "old" (boxy) Megatouches on Ebay when he upgrades some of the Megatouch machines on his route to the LCD flatpanel style. He removes the dollar bill validators and the coin mechs, and he sets them up in free mode. He will NOT include the DBV of the coin mechs uner any circumstances, for fear of someone putting the machine in their neighborhood watering hole. Makes sense.
Anyway, you can pick up a later model like a Platinum or a Ruby for like $650. I did local pickup on mine, so I do not know about S&H.
Hope that helps ya,
FJ

Would I also need a touchscreen to serial interface? I was going to start looking on ebay for cheap parts, and piece one together and see if I could get it to work in one of my mamed cabinets with a switch box that let you switch from computer to megatouch.
