Is this ... ? Isn't that ... ??? What is this I don't even.

given how the furniture looks, I wouldn't think the company would even care.

total is a grand including a free computer?

I'm a huge proponent of "to each their own" but wow, just wow.

If this were a teenager taking a stab at his first cab, or a single dad building something for his kids out of existing parts and this is what they came up with, I think I'd feel differently (and I think some of you would agree). But this is a vendor charging a lot of money for what is really an uninspired plug and play package setup.

So the original poster who claimed to have designed this POS was really just trying to resell another companies cabinet kit. He didn't even build it.

The dude does not abide this.

Its a definite ripoff, maybe the same, but the stand looks different to me.   Its like a more expensive than the original clone.

Looks like a recroom masters clone to me.  Do we have to go any further down this rabbit hole?  It's depressing...

Had to google that one....and....what!

People actually buy something that looks like this?? ?? ?



And this 4-Player set-up?!

Time for a zanax...  I blame it on Cory.

HAHA, ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---......wait, you aren't serious?

Damn it Rick! Making me look through the site again for no reason!

Oh, I would never do that.

You went further down the rabbit hole.  What I find depressing is that I spent years lurking here being quiet and polite, eventually finding a cab (which I appreciate), yet some money hungry punk makes a clone of a pseudo-viewlix style cab with crappy controls comes here and gets rude after asking for advice from some very experienced people.
Then actually sells the thing for a couple of grand...
*pops another zanax.
I guess my skin needs some thickening.

[Rick]

I don't think there's actually any proof of that, unless I missed something along the way. I certainly don't believe for a second that any of his "testimonials" are real.

Yeah, I think I agree.

HEY! Thats my project! Or... my furniture as you guys say. I love the thing. And I was up and running in a day. Maybe down the road I can restore something but I just dont have the time... family and 2 jobs will do that to you. It looks decent and its solid. Also  I'm not selling anything. The review is up so I might as well affiliate.  I'm just proving a point that anyone can put one of these together and in turn I hope more people learn about emulation in the process. Ive been a fan of this scene since 1999! In return  I am pushing them to beginners and helping the scene absolutely grow in the process. Like to think that is something good that I am doing for this community! Maybe you guys see it differently. Best of luck guys.  Ive updated some of the artwork since that article and I have the cabinet where I want it, and I think it looks pretty good! I guess my opinion is really all that matters anyway. Ill post a few pics when its done for the hell of it.

No worries, David- the comments are actually aimed at the guy who made a cheap copy of the design and is trying to pass the off for way more. If your project gets your little ones into classic gaming, more power to you!

Ahh thanks. I should have read the beginning of the thread. Traffic tracking brought me to the 2nd page. =) Have a good day guys, the hell with the scammers!
