Cabby Games Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I've got a marquee print in the post, but I still don't have the lighting unit to put behind it. Really not sure what I should be looking to buy, do I need to get something cabinet specific or can I just pick up something from your average DIY shop. The Marquee itself is 540mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyQ Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Both my Nintendo cabs I just used a normal tube light stays cool and its cheap from local hardware shops, it lights up great and easy to install just buy the size you need and the hardware for it should be under $20.

Frosty Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I used two pc case white cold cathodes. Comes as a kit online. Stays very cool and runs directly off the PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyShizz Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi, where did you get your graphics done? I am in the UK and am putting the finishing touches to my bartop. I am desperate to get a marquee done but i was quoted about £80 to have a design made straight to perspex. I dont really want to pay that as I can easily sandwich a design between two pieces. I admit I am a noob when it comes to graphic design and printing services so any advice would be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
