can you guys think of any reason why i'd need to remove the joysticks?  i'd have to unscrew, wow, around 39 buttons in order to remove the plexiglass to access the joysticks if i'd need to change them out.  looks like the switches are real easy to get to.

If you mounted T-nuts on top of the CP, you could attach your joysticks from the bottom and thus, remove them from the bottom also without disturbing the CPO and plexi.

maybe i miscalculated, there's 8 buttons per player, including the player start button (it's nice to be able to play some 4 player dreamcast action on the arcade) plus 3 buttons for the trackball.  so that's 35.

For a cheap way to mount the marquee, go to home depot and pick up some 2 pieces of 3 foot aluminum L bracket.  Found some for around $2, cut it really easily with a hack saw, spray painted it black, drilled a few holes and mounted it up.  Looks great and really easy and cheap.
