    OK guys,

    So if I was to put together a list of needed hardware this is what I think it all looks like based on conversations to date. How does this sound?

    Cab Related: Candy Cab Itself (2p 6 Button)
    Game PCB (Have to have at least one real PCB!) Kick Harness (depending on PCB)
    Step down transformer
    A Stool!

    MAME Related:
    PC & Keyboard
    JPAC (Probably USB version)
    Wire, Spade Clips & Crimping Tool for Extra Buttons to JPAC
    ArcadeVGA
    Powered Speakers

    You only need the arcadeVGA card if you are going for an arcade monitor, i use an lcd in mine with simulated scan lines, its not as good but it works for now until i can get a few more cabs!

    You will need a marquee light as well, some plexi glass, paint etc. also you will have to think about a marquee and artwork for the control panel and sides.

    Also T-Moulding for the edges and maybe a coin door for the front?

    Thanks Keith. Sorry I should have said that I'm getting a candy cab with monitor etc so that just cover all you mentioned.

    That aside, how does that list look?

    haha, it was handier at the time to use an LCD, the plan is to get a few more "real" cabs later this year, cant go without having a proper crt arcade cab.

    Download a romset matching your version of mame
    If you use a FE, don't use mameui use command line mame and compile your own to scrap nag screens and keep high scores
