Does anyone know where I can find the metal what was used on the Pui Puni (sp?) DDR Pad (aka the lighted up one), except in dark blue, caution orange, caution gold, caution yellow, pure chrome, or in gunmetal black

look for local plastics suppliers and even sign stores...

Yes, that would work fine. 1/4" Plexi is fine for personal use as long as you're not real big.

Used DDR Arcade Arrow Panels (E-Bay)

This guy is selling custom made DDR arcade bar cushions on E-Bay. I might buy one for my metal pad.

devout, you forgot to mention how many times the particular panel has been hit with a hammer. I could swear that the first two panels to break on my tx1000's had both been hit with a hammer, and the next broken panel didn't come until 4 months after the other two.

This is the kind of thing (along with other previous threads) that I think we could meld into one big sticky (since we're sticky-heavy as it is). The lighting design concepts would also go in there.

Yeah, my logic is also that we could probably take all 300ish pages of the current thread and summarise them all onto 1 friendly front page, along with the lighting thread, this thread, etc. Then, a lot of people on here wouldn't spend hours reading through thousands of posts and STILL have questions. Everytime I hear "okay, so I just finished reading through the whole thread, and I was wondering. . ." I cringe in pain.
