I'm not going to say mine is among the "best."  But it is a widebody.

Great work! What kind of DMD are you using? Are there any made now that don't need special power supplies?

I'll give you my 2 cents......

 

I originally had a Vishay LEE-128G032B Orange LED display in my cab but after only 2 months it developed a line of lit LEDs down the middle. It was still under warranty so Brad over at vpcabs took it back and I got a refund. I then started to read up on the plasma displays and decided to go that route (and I'm glad I did, much nicer display). The down part is I needed some extra hardware to power the new DMD. I would check out this thread:

 

http://www.vpforums....23249&hl=plasma

 

More then enough info on Plasma/LED. If you can find the Orange LED version you only need 5V which you can tap off your PC power supply for. I'm running the APD-128G032 with Zebs HV Driver board currently.

 

Since your building a WB cab check out the Star Wars: Pinball Unleashed and Indiana Jones and the Pinball Crusade builds over at the HyperPin site (both great builds)
