Well I actually have finished this awhile ago, but I didn't have time to put pictures up. I got my Sanwa JLF stick on the player 2 side and still have my JLW on the Player 1 side, I'll have to change later on. My new Seimitsu bubbletop ball tops and Keywiz encoder are on too, the ball tops look great but its hard to take a good picture of them. I also finished the wiring, I spent a long time because I wanted it to be clean. I'll update this later when I get my new 22" LCD monitor and rotating stand setup.

That wiring does look very slick! Should be easy to modify or repair since everything is so organized.

Ive been busying trying to rotate my 22" Acer LCD monitor and I did it! I was frustrating to get it working right. The hardest part was how to rotate it from the outside, I just attached a handle to the front so I can just turn it. I used double-sided tape and scotch tape to reinforce it. I know that some people use gears and motors, but I don't want to deal with confusing electronics. My original idea was to use a pulley system and use a chain from the side, but it didn't work. The last picture of the bezel is not centered so I have to fix that. I would some show pictures of vertical and horizontal games, but my computer is down because I'm installing new parts. I'll post some game pics when I get it running again.

New computer parts I ordered: Intel dual-core 2.5 ghz, OCZ 700 watt power supply, another 1 gb stick ram, and a Geforce 9600 graphics card.

I want to play SFIV, so that is the main reason I upgrading it.
