(sorry... you did say ANY ideas)

Usually a FedEx Kinko's can turn it around in less than a day. You also might check with local sign shops that might have a large-format printer and can print on a backlit material. The Kinko's prints can come out very nice. I work at Kinko's and printed mine there with awesome results. Backlit prints are $15/sq ft with a $25 minimum that may or may not be enforced. For a quick print, the "indoor banner" material doesn't work too bad either, but it gets a bit washed out when lit. It's somewhere around $7-$8/sq ft. Unfortunately I'm off the rest of the week or I could help you out with the printing.
If you don't have any artwork together for it, you might check out www.localarcade.com
In the homebrew section you'll see plenty of marquees. For the color scheme mentioned I'd probably go with either the orange arcade classics one or maybe the Defender-style Arcade one. I actually took a minute and edited the Defender one for you so that it's a bit more orange than red. Download it here. Either Kinko's or a sign shop should have no problem resizing any of these to fit your cabinet. Here's a preview of both:
EDIT: Hopefully this filehosting link will work now.

Thanks Crowquill.....I was considering the "arcade classic" from www.localarcade.com and I think I will go with that one. Just was not sure about the resolution. I know it is 600 dpi but the size is only 8" x 2.5" and I need to stretch it to 26" x 7". Has anyone had this one printed ? Thanks.
BradC:
If you print the 600 dpi image at 150 dpi, you'll have a source that's 32" x 10". At 150 dpi it should still look pretty decent, not perfect, but good.
Crowquill:
And on the HP that we use at Kinko's you can go down to even about 100dpi with pretty fair results.
You should have no problems with the file. Hopefully you can get it printed in time.
