VERY nice!! One thing; the trakball circle .. seems too oval, unless the image is squashed.

yea, now that you mention it the trackball circle is squashed. Will have to fix that when I get back home.

CPO is awesome, very Giger-esqe.
I think the marquee looks kind of plain in comparison. Could use art more similar to the COP to tie the themes together.

Rounded-trackball CPO looks great.

2nd marquee looks great.

Doing side art or bezel art too?

Neat.

Got a pictue of the side of your cab, or can you overlay it on a pic of a cab, so we could see size & placement?  Not sure how/where a triangle shape would fit on a cab side.

no, no pics of cab that I could show it on the way i want it to be. Best way to describe what i want placement wise is about the same as on Knievel's neon mame cab. If you know what Im talking about.

Quick question -- Im planning on having 22 buttons, 2 eight way joysticks, 1 four way joystick, a spinner and a trackball. What is my best bet for interface?? IPAC or mini-pac???

Thanks again
