Very nice start. You definitely did not spare any expense. I am excited to see your build progression.
Having a cabinet to play full screen pins is awesome! Check out my mini pin cab here on VPForums.

ah shit i knew that m/b was cheap for a reason it only has 1 pci-e x16 slot! i'm going to order a ASUS M4N98TD-EVO Motherboard to replace it that should do the trick. looks like i won't be building today than... ohmy.gif

I thought about 'Tronifying' my cab with led rope light but i thought it might look like the dashboard of a crappy riced up Honda or something

That's pretty cool... where did you pick that up from? You should be able to just cut the wire, strip and solder in and extend the cable from the button to the PC.

Oh, it's just the wire... I was thinking that the button was attached to the wire.
