I like it!!! I have a half done plan to do this with a DK and a Burgertime. I will defiantly have to finish them now.

I have returned.........

sorry for the long delay, all the usual excuses, all work and no play 

im off for a few days so will get a bit more done. stay tuned for more pictures 

my biggest decision is weather to use a 60in1 pcb or to mame it? i think i might mame it due to the diversity of games available in the upright format?

My only complaint about that style of cabinet is that it's difficult to see the monitor if it's on a table

I no the feeling pinballjim, I spent many many hours tweaking the screen angle. i ended up setting the screen angle to suite an average height person playing the arcade on a standard height table, boy it took a while to tweak.

Evening all,

Its been a long few weeks with little free time for the DK project   I managed to free up a few hours tho and got the pc set up with mala and a great DK skin courtesy of a fellow forum member MikeBoss  

I only have a handful of things to complete, an amp has been ordered for the speakers so I can have a great volume range (no hacked speakers here gentlemen) and a back door for the machine.

Other than that the DK is complete. This will have been my 9th arcade build, all tho only my third posted on byoac. i love building these things

all the best, Dave

Hey guys,

That's very slick man, you did a great job 

[MameMaster!]

Slick! Very nice, I really like the scale. You get the stand up experience and look- w/o the headache of a full cab.
