Pfft to "designed for LCD" ... Aimtrak works with any display technology, so the "designed for" bit is just somebody being CaptainPedantic.
As for the Happ interface ... I pretty much guarantee that nobody here has ever used one, so I would disregard any conclusions made about it (and note that you won't find any support here should you run into trouble), but take to heart the recommendations made about the Ipac and Keywiz (bearing in mind that each interface option has different limitations and that you want to deal with sticks, buttons and analogs).
Read the wiki. Review the project announcements. Read the Aimtrak thread (you really, really have to if you want light guns!)
Have fun and learn lots, because there is a lot out there.
Oh ... WELCOME!

Did you stop reading and start quoting?

Thanks everybodyfor your constructive criticism and helpful hints.
As is probably abundantly clear my plan is far from well thought out. The purpose of my post was mainly to toss my ideas out there and see what people thought of them. None of this stuff is really set in stone or anything. I do of course realize that i have a lot of research ahead of me. Javeryh brings up a good point about the 4 player set up. Probably don't need it and the added expense puts anpother point in the negative column for me.
As for the LCD display, i had found the lightguns play-asia sells that say they work on lcd but after reading reviews i don't think they are for me so a more traditional crt approach seems in order as the light guns are filed under definite need for me! So more research is in order to find a good product.
The interface as well is something that needs more investigation. I will definitly have to look into the ipac or keywiz as they seem to be the most commonly mentioned in forums.
The cheapo pc seems about right tho. after all area 51 and marvel vs capcom isnt exactly Crysis. The carpenter i have lined up is my friend's girlfriend who does side work so i am sure that she will give me a great price for the build as cabinets in my neck of the woods seem to be pretty scarce on the usual buy and sell sites. And i will definitley be giving her a good set of plans to go by and telling her what i need to be done when i figure it out a bit more
I do have Mame up and running on my pc. Currently trying to get proper versions of games i want to workand succeeding for the most part. Got Daphne too which is pretty cool. Will be experimenting with front ends hopefully this weekend.
All in all i have lots of reading to do and as i dont move into my new house for another couple months, i have plenty of time to sort outhow im gonna put this thing together. Thanks again guys for the input

I would recommend to reconsider using 4p setup.
