Nice job. Im in the works of making plans myself. I do hope you are gonna sand, fill holes and paint and make it look real good...

All the hard work so far. You dont want to skip all that. I wonder how you can make it accept quarters?....

Heres something I'd though I'd just throw out to you to help make your SM machine seem cool

When I was looking for my friend's pad, i came across these speakers that light up. Heres the link: http://store.yahoo.com/videogamesdepo/si51gaspwifl.html

I'm not sure how good they are, but they do look like they would work nicely with ddr.

Nice job with the machine.

I'd make one myself, but I'd need a LOT of $$

running stepmania with two huge speakers on the sides
