8 PCB Multi Gun Cabinet. Picture Heavy.

I'm curious about this as well (specifically hooking up the guns), as I'd like to attempt this insane setup at some point
 
Both Riddle's switcher and the one I used from Clay have ways to hook up the guns. You can run the 5v and ground off of the power supply. This leaves only 2 wires to be switched, the trigger and optical wires. I believe Riddle has a satellite board that can be used for the switching of the trigger and optics (forgive me, it's been some time since I built all this).

The reason I switched the monitor was that not all games were standard res. Some were medium res. I would have to dig up all the info again to tell you which was which. In order for standard and medium res games to both exist in a cabinet, you will need a monitor like the 9200 that can accept either signal through the same input.
 
I went with the cheap Chinese switcher (after having MUCH difficulty using Clays switchers). You can read about my rig at my blog if you're interested (link in my description below). It's a 6-way...
 
Yeah, as stated in the original summary above, while Clay is an awesome dude, that switcher has some really huge flaws in my opinion. The biggest coming from the fact that you need so many power supplies, and inputs hit every single board at the same time (example I gave was trying to calibrate the guns..... all 8 boards are in the service menu and settings are changing randomly as you adjust the game on screen.... just all kinds of bad). I still have the cabinet, just as it was when I did this write up. I have decided that I am definitely gonna redo it though, using Riddles switcher instead. This just ultimately isnt acceptable.
 
And then last but not least, a final pic of it running.

I have a couple videos too. I can upload those to YouTube at some point and put links to them here in this thread. Probably won't be tonight.

Gorgeous cabinet man! Looks super professional.

Your shelf system is absolutely brilliant as well. Nice cab man.
