Sleepy's Arcade - Year Two - New Control Panel

[Leapinleny]

Here is what I will call Rev 2 of Sleepy's Arcade, after close to a year of using the arcade regularly, I finally decided to put aside some time and redesign the control panel. Initially I was going to setup some sort of modular or two level control panel, but for this revision I abandoned that, and just made a slightly deeper single level "franken-panel" to support the games we have been playing.

The cab consists of a Pentium HT4 3.06 GHz CPU, 1 Gbyte RAM, ATI Radeon AGP 9250 Video Card, with a 40 GB and 80 GB HDDs running Windows XP, MAME 32 0.93
27" Zenith TV monitor with S-Video Input
Happ 3" Trackball (red translucent) to the PS-2 port with 3 button functionality
Happ 8 Way HD joystick with the TRON urethane from encryptor - works great
Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus
Ultimarc SpinTrak
Ultimarc I-PAC4 (PS2)
Ultimarc PAC-Drive
Two Happ 8-Way Rotary Joysticks with 12 position encoder
Happ Buttons
Some lighted Multicade buttons
RED T-Molding

Here is where the arcade is at, I will be in the process of wiring up the buttons and joysticks today.

Here is a close up of the finished panel. I had to move the exit button to where the 2nd pause button was. If I would have spent more time browsing the forums, I would have found placing the exit button above the trackball for games like golden tee and shuuz is bad idea.
Fortunately I had bought some blanks for the last panel.
Also have gotten all the side buttons and trackball lit up and running with the Ultimarc pacdrive, now it is just a matter of learning Mala and getting everything programmed.

Here is the finished product for this year, maybe in another year I will redesign the panel again
