Yeah there seems to be a lot of that here on this site.  :-\

Would you mind posting a pic of inside the cp?

H4CK3R:

It looks a lot better then this picture, its the only one I took after opening it up to take a look.

Everything is done real nicely.



Its a little over whelming to say the least.  But what would you expect.  Also the price he quoted you is a  bit less then what I was charged,  Maybe parts came down a bit, ect.  But i would still pay what I was charged in a heart beat if I needed another.

 

Rabidfool:

Still borderline on it. I was going to downgrade and just get a 2p cp, but the price between that and a 4p is very small.

How easy is it to setup the lights to show what buttons are used when you load a specific game?

H4CK3R:

Azroo is a good guy and helps when ever he can, he helped me set mine up.  Like anything else, its alittle work to get everything perfect.  But worth it in the end.

Personally, if your gonna spend money on it, make it right the first time.  Like I have said, rather have it, and not need it, then need it and not have it.   To be honest, there have only been a handfull of times when all 4 players get played.  But its nice to know we can do it, instead of people sitting out. 

If you go the 2 player option you'll save a little cash, but you will never re invest and upgrade to a 4 player set.

Makes a great babysitter too =p

Hey I'm not putting you down, a frankenpanel is a frankenpanel. Just stating the facts. It's not necessarily a negative thing, it's completely valid if you can actually make use if it all. Though, if a builder is looking for advice on a panel, my first inclination would be to not recommend the frankenpanel route.

I just had to call BS on the 4 player-6 button statement you made, that's all.
6-buttons for all 4 players is not necessary and a waste of time/money IMO for one game that makes use of it.

For sure. The lighting is great, the cleanliness is nice too...that\s why people ask for opinions here, so we can all comment on it and learn from each other. It's called progression.

VERY AWESOME. Love me a good virtual pinball table!  :applaud:
The only flaw I have is with your inability to take a bit of criticism. You post a picture, people are going to comment on it. It happens.

But other than that, amazing looking cabinet, very well done!

This is a forum that people critique and comment on each others work, to help increase their quality and craftsmanship. It can't all be "pats on the head", "sugar and spice" comments. How would people learn from that? This passive-aggressiveness that people display now-a-days is just so insincere. Tell it how it is, don't put on a smile and say it's all good when inside you're thinking "daaaaamn!".

My advice to Rabidfool:  Find out what games you want to have running on this thing before you spend the time and money on what controls to support. If money isn't an issue, then go crazy. Franken it up!
