    I can get get overall movement by mounting them in the speaker ports and it has 3 vents in each end but I can't see how I can get any good movement from them with any of the fans I have

    I went with positive pressure and I think that was the right choice, had it on for an hour and even with the transformer I had installed to run the factory lights burning up the air was still cool coming out of the end vent over the power supply. Now I need to fine a 6 volt output transformer that is at least 2 amps, I ran them for about 4 hours with my variable power supply with no trouble and it is 2 amps so I know that would do it. I installed computer case fans in the holes for the factory speakers that have purple led's in the corners that add a neat gentle glow. I put blue neon tubes in behind the top vents again adding a cool lighting effect to the cabinet and I put color changing led's in the control panels under the "Stargate" logo that looks like something they would have done at the time if they had been invented yet.

    now I will be forced to take a break as it is going to be a while until I can get the interface to hook the arcade buttons up and use them but It works okay with a keyboard for now and if I get bored I may try hacking a keyboard for fun.
