http://www.gameongrafix.com/ seems to be the one that most people use.  I still have to check on the PC PSU connectors.  We had a bad storm blow through my neck of the woods and just got power back @ 10 pm last night.  At least I had a two 15 foot sections of pine trees blocking my driveway to keep me busy while the power was out.  I'll have fire wood to keep me warm during the winter months while I work on (hopefully) my next project.   :lol

Does it seem like a pretty good amp? It looks like a good deal to me, only 25-30 dollars for an amp and power supply, thanks for mentioning it!

I to use a 2020+ amp in my bartop with a pair car speakers and I think they sound great.

I was going to use car speakers in my arcade cabinet originally.  Had some nice 6.5" component speakers with separate tweeter.  What I used was a spare AV receiver.  Do you have some old home theater stuff laying around??

What I ended up doing to make things easy is just buying a set of 2.1 computer speakers.

On my fall cab I put a 2.1 system from Logitech in and it sounds good. Having the sub makes a big difference. I always wanted to try car audio so I finally stepped up to the plate with my bartop.

That't a bummer about the storm, at least you got some free wood out of it though I suppose! Thanks for offering to check, I'm in no rush so no worries. Quick question though, if my LED trackball requires a 12V power source I would be able to just tap in from the yellow wire (probably using the adapter) and that would power it correct?

The last two things on my list to order (until everything gets here and I realize I missed something lol) are the trackball mounting plate and the spinner. I'm not really sure how you pick the trackball mounting plate. I'll be ordering this trackball http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-ILLUMINATED-GREEN-HAPP-TRACK-BALL-DIFFERENT-/360294329905 and just am not sure if it matters which mounting plate you get. Does anyone have any suggestions for one? I want to make sure I get one that will be as flush as possible. As for the spinner, I'm looking at either the Turbo Twist 2 and the Ultimarc Spintrak (or maybe the community would suggest another option?), I'm leaning towards the Spintrak but I think they would both be good choices.
