My cab "The Triforce", and my homemade Aimtrak Gun Holster :p
DirtyDachshunds:
I think it looks great. Very clean, I really like the art. You'll catch crap around here for not flush mounting the trackball, but since you chose not to, more power to you. Make it your own.
I went away from the popular opinion a couple times on my cab as well. And I'm glad I did.
Also, I might steal your aimtrak holster idea. :P

*gasp* Millercade? Blasphemer! Miller isn't an arcade game! :laugh: j/k
I did notice though, that my joysticks might be off my like a couple mm :/ which means I'd have to route them deeper. But they work fine and I'm actually more comfortable with a lower shaft. Besides, they work fine and have played sturdy, so I don't think I'm too worried about 4 mm :P
When I have some time I'll probably post more details about the holster. But It's either a 3inch or a 4inch pipe bracket. Usually found in the plumbing section. Gun fits snug with the foam insulation. And protects it too!

Looks great! I too thought of the U-bolt gun holder, never thought of foam around it, that might be nice! Thanks for the idea!

neat idea for the holsters. i have some leather from when i was making custom forged knives. i figure id tool up some leather and do some kind of holster down the road.
dose the 4 ways tick in front of the trackball get in the way? on my control panel its offset a bit. would suck to hit one hands on anything using the trackball.
chris.

No actually, I've never hit the 4-way while using the trackball for games like golden tee. The actual layout is the default layout that mameroom supplies with their control panel kits. Just comes as the panels with the holes drilled, and you have to do everything else. I didn't mind having a dedicated 4 way, especially for games like Pac-man and Donkey Kong.
