Huge day on the cabinet front. First, Eric and I went to Gameworks for lunch to measure and take pictures of the Monkey Ball cabinet. It was sorta hairy since I didn't want to get caught measuring up this cabinet, so we had to be a bit sneaky, but I got most of the measurements I needed thankfully. We also got a bunch of pictures and a few videos. There's one below, the rest can be found here.

When I got home tonight I ordered a ton of stuff. I had talked to Mouser today and he liked the specs I told him about, save the memory. Ordered all the PC parts I had on the list except the memory, which I got from Crucial (never had a problem w/ them before). I also ordered the arcade monitor ($$), and a bunch of other misc parts like the coin box, monitor bezel and PCB mounting feet. Dropped a good amount of cash, but I gotta get it sooner or later. The next step is to draw up a diagram with all the measurements for my Dad so he can get going. Needless to say I feel MUCH better about this project now than I did just a few days ago.
