For the trackball, we don't know if it will work because we have not seen the microswitches it uses.

For the control board, never used it, but it looks like it requires at least basic soldering skills (some of it at that).

trekking95 Wrote:Basic soldiering skills is something you normally have if you even want to do this sort of thing so yeah I have them. But if I didn't I could likely use small nuts and bolts to attach the wire. So otherwise it should be looks okay? Because for the same price and 10 ports more its not bad!

Like we said, we guess its okay, because we're not familiar with that particular one. The one we linked we're familiar with and the wiring harness is already in place. But if you want to go cheaper and can handle the workload in soldering the pieces, then its up to you. And we wish you the best of luck in whatever option you go with. order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

trekking95 Wrote:Actually I asked my dad, who is better then me with wiring about it and he said that the one you linked would be better since if you wanted to change the configuration of the wire soldier would make it harder and likely would wreak the board if done too much. So for the sake of 10 ports (I would likely have to buy more boards either way) I will go with the other one. And I went to Home Depot tonight and they had plywood that would work for $43 a sheet. So for 3 sheets plus tax it would be around $145. Do you think that's very good? I will still get it though since I got some extra money for Christmas and this is a good a thing as any to spend it on!

Most people go with plywood or MDF (Note: MDF dust is toxic, so if you or anyone else goes with this option, wear goggles and a face mask, as well as work in a well-ventilated area), but there are other options that others use. So, Plywood is good, 3/4" thickness (I think the thickness everyone, including the arcade companies, use is correct, but you may want to double check). I recommend printing out your diagram for the cabinet to determine how many sheets you need (because some cabinets have the controller panel sitting out in front, like the kind you typically see in a brawler-style video game). 3 should be enough to cover a whole machine (one or two player types), but 4 sheets is best to make sure you have enough to cover everything and a spare for any mistakes you may make in cutting.

Thanks and the same to you guys!

You're welcome, and thank you (we've been lucky so far).

Anyway I have a few scrap pieces from other projects so I could use them to fill in areas if needed. And I did look at MDF and some other stuff like chip board and it was actually more money then the plywood! So I think I will be going with that.

BTW, with Christmas having passed, most video cards have an S-Video output. Since everyone got new TVs this Christmas, you can go to any local thrift shop (like Goodwill) and buy a CRT-style TV (not flat panel, old-school). But with warning, monkeying around with an old TV, there is a high probably of high voltage electrocution, however, it gives that old school feel. But many people who have done this particular project go with flat panel because of the fact they're safer and easier to mount. However, doing the CRT-style gives it a more old-school feel.

My dad is having me relay this info to you because he was wondering what type of monitor you were going to go with (old school or flat panel). For his project, he had a couple of old CRT computer monitors he wasn't using, so he decided to use one of them for his. And he's telling me to let you know that if you do go with the CRT style monitor, you may want to get help from your father in getting it installed.

Also, when you get done, take some pictures of your project. In fact, take pictures as you work on it, so you can have a record of the build from start to finish.

So I went to the local Home Depot tonight to get the wood. I didn't realise they closed at 8:00 (fall hours) so I got there at 7:40! But at least they still cut it. So by following these instructions I got one piece cut into 4- 20 in. wide strips with one 16 in. piece left (20 x 4 + 16 = 96 (8 ft), and the other two cut 72 in. high and 39 in. wide for the sides. Now all I have to do is cut the edges to the different angles with a jigsaw...after I clean the garage out so I have room in there! where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

They cut plexiglass? I know they sell cutters for it but I didn't know they did it. And did your Home Dept have the big metal frame saw that they clamp the wood in then run the saw across it? Mine did and their cuts were 100% perfect! better then some of the little hardware stores that just have the cheap table saw with a wooden frame built around it. Their cuts are so zig-zag my penknife would do better!

Well a Lowes is here too so I could go look. I have been to them and didn't know they had a glass area so maybe yours has a specialty department most don't?where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Also with the trackballs, would you get a 2 1/4 in. or a 3 in. one from a gaming standpoint? And some places sell control circuits for trackballs, would I need one or would the one you have and linked work?

I hope I didn't already ask this! order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I think the glass cutters are at all of them. I mean, the Lowes we went to in Tallahassee has it, but its been a while since I've been to the one in Valdosta so I can't be sure but I think they might have one.

I know that all the Lowes here in the Orlando area cut glass. I should know, my 2nd oldest daughter was horse playing around with her sister and lost her balance. She put her head right through one of her bedroom windows. I had to get Lowes to cut us a new one. It costed us about $13.00 for the glass and to have it cut.
