Thanks peter
frosty,
I found my copy of Eye Candy 4000 so I've been playing around with the chrome filter a bit. I still can't get anything that looks nearly as cool or professional as your marquee text. Do you have any tips, or a specific procedure that you use for this filter? Thanks

What I did for the text was this:
I used SF ATARIAN SYSTEM font with the tracking way low, like -50 or -75. Looks kind of like ARIAL NARROW.
Then I applied the standard chrome filter using the light from above and the outdoor texture.
Then I rasterized the type later, and added a Gradient Overlay: 100% opaque, Blend mode of Color Burn, and used a basic Black to White gradient Linear 90 degree pattern.
To blend it a bit with the background I applied a Bevel and Emboss filter which gave it some cool color effects around the edges - Here are the settings for the gradient:
