Looks good and portable, do you plan on a second monitor?

Looks really cool .. in case you still need your TV screen for other purposes than playing pinball this is a handy 'transformable' solution!

Only thing missing as BBB said already is a 2nd screen as Backbox and a PinballWizzard? ;-)

Well done!

In fact at the beginning I would like to have an original coffee table. Have a drink with somes friends watching some picture or listening music (I choose Win XP mce with remote control for that) :) ...

I realy enjoy the quality of future pinball. The increadible hyperpin frontend permit with some keys to choose and start FP tables. I'm not realy interested by my score, so the 2nd screen shoud be a plus (just a plus).
Now my biggest problem is I don't find the command line witch permit to see the table without angle viewing. I think if I activate this 'probably' command line the special key whitch use for see my score won't work. But I have to test it.

My other problem will be to find the protection glass panel.

Dear Darkmindz.
I won't change my old fashion yellow Irish keyboard. In fact I can't understand why people want to change... Change for what ? For a best future for our children ? So I'm agree whith them...

I fact I suppose it's my fault. I don't precise clearly it's a work in progress project. The computer and the keyboard are those I'll integrate on my project. I don't mind if it's yellow green or black because at the end I'll try to integate them onto my FP/Hyperpin/coffetable/mediacenter project. I think too I'll solder hack easely my old perfectly working keyboard than an new chinese one. But it's my opinion.

But sure you was kidding me...

You may help me to find a solution for one of my problem :

LASERDISCFAN:

you're dead on with the keyboard hack, the first cab I did I had an OLD, and I mean really old, keyboard - it was a full DIN connector with a ps/2 converter. When I cracked that thing open the bread board was like 5x3in and the traces were spread apart and it was so easy to solder.

When I started building some joysticks I went a bought a cheap chinese KB for like $5. Cracked that thing open and the whole breadboard was less than 2"x1" and the traces were so close I had to scratch my 22gague wire and switch to 28gague, and even then it was pretty cramped.

Older technology is definately better in that regard.

Looks cool. When do you think you will have the sides on with the buttons?
