When i run HS its not on my main monitor, and it run's at the bottom of the 6th monitor.
I know how to fix this with turning off all the other monitors, and resizing the main one to the bare min.
Anyway to take advantage of my set up with HS till I get my Cab up and running?

That Video was a year ago.. It's improved since then.
Also I have over 9,000 games... Will there ever be a complete list for "most" of them art work and Emumovie?
Anyone care to fly out to Vegas and help me tweak everything out? Ill pay for the flight and everything =p

Let me get my control board in and we will set everything up. I can put ya up in a hotel, or you can crash at my pad for how ever long ya want to stay.
2k foot home. Spa in back, cranky wife, pool table, 65 inch TV with PS3. I don't drink, but You will never run out of Beer I promise =) Plus I can set us up to see a few shows. I got the hook up's.

OK... Realisticly... How much space should I have to support a Cab with the best games out there.
Was looking at a 3 terabyte system.. and Ouch... Built into a PC would run me about 1500.00 my cost...
What kinda specs for a cab built should the PC have ideally?
I have 2k I can spend... Do I spend it now for the PC with HD space.. or should I get the Controller for 700 ( Low end ) to 1400 to 2k High end?
Grrr desions....

Because Vegas uses to much electricty.
My cabinet has 1tb of drive space, but all of my roms take about 500gb. The rest is partitioned off as a system drive and other media such as Emumovies, Hyperspin, mp3's and stuff like that.

-Illuminated balltops $40 each
-Illuminated Trackball $50
-Illuminated Buttons $6 ea. (43)

I will post a video once I get it and tell ya what it's like. It's suppose to have Multi colored Buttons and sticks.. that can change colors... I hope thats what it is =p
I also removed the extra buttons from 3 and 4. And asked to make sure that controllers can switch from 4 way to 8 way.
As far as Hard drive space is concearned... i ended up ordering a 1 terabyte extrenal drive.

That things gonna be sweet. Do they allow custom artwork instead of just a red or blue overlay?
H4CK3R
08-11-2008, 06:22 PM
I believe LEDwiz... not sure... I know they have red, green, and blue LEDs in each...
I Hope they allow custom art.... I mean the blue and red scheem looks sweet.. but this is going to need alittle more love then just anything...
Might hit you guys up with a design Idea or something...

4 player is cool and Im not going to talk you out of it.. But I have 2 cabs I bullt but it rarly gets use by more than myself... When I do have multiple people over the 4 player games are few and far between... 2 player is the best choise and would save alot of $$$ that be be put toward a fancy gfx card and nice cpu/

5 player? What games support 5 players? (typo?)
As for that nice led control panel, for that cash, I would hope that trackball plate was gone. You may want to look into that.
Sorry, that was an early morning typo. I meant to say that 4 player is a must if you have kids.

Just talked to a company that can do a one off for me for the holgraphic control panel.. IE the images will apear to pop off the board and move and be animated.
300 bucks to a one off print... 100 bucks per depth feild upto 100 lines of depth... Max cost for a one off.... $1,300.00. Looking to sell a kindy. This toy is not for the faint of heart.

LOL yes and No... I can't afford the 1,300 Bucks just to print it up... YET.
After the Plasma, glasses, Control board, Computer, excessories, i am out about 7k now.
Give me a month, and then I can pay ya properly, and get the whole thing layed out correctly =)
Besides, i need to hear this machine talk to me for a week before I give her a name/theme.
Tho I am starting to hear the theme from "The Jeffersons" ringing in my mind... Moving on up... to the top now!!!
That or homer simpson's "Dooooope" when my wife get's a copy of my Credit Card bill... LOL
