i love that cabinet

RockyRocket's Gran Trak 2010, and generally don't even like standup racers! I really like the shape of the cabinet, its awesome paint job, and attention to detail.

I love me some 1943, but I gotta give my vote to Barrel of Kong.

Not only was it creative, unique,  and well executed, but its something the spouse might actually allow in a room where it might be seen!

Of all the categories, I think this one shows the most innovation and craftsmanship. The other ones were easy for me to vote on- this one makes me sad I can only choose one. Kudos to all the nominees.

Yep.  This is the toughest category.  A lot of great cabinets here.

[ChadTower]

This is really tough.  I can't decide between the Gran Trak or the Barrel of Kong.

I went gran trak, gotta love the stand up racing cab, and incredible paint job.

Shazzle!

I object!  Incongruent themes. 

Lets keep driving cabs separate.  2 of those should be mini cabs, one should be a micro.  The supergun should be in hardware.

I object!  Incongruent themes.

So cabarets can't be with minis can't be with micros in the "small Cab" category?  Check.  Supergun, I can see the case for but it is where it is.  The arrow has left the string.  Sorry charlie.  Thanks for swooping in to the voting thread with opinions about how to run the contest 

[yotsuya]

The Troubleshooter is a personal project and not a piece of hardware meant as a publicly-distributed product and thus doesn't fit in the Hardware category. It's fine in the 'Small and Non-Standards'.

So no shazzle.

Narf!?
More of a commentary on the difficulty of the grouping.   Such good choices

I could carry on why each are great.  Having to choose though?  Troubleshooter #OfficialFavorite #AmIdoing this right? #Thisismyvote #shazzleindeed

Ahhhhhhh............ I hear you, dog. 

[TKW4rr10r]

Gran Trak is an awesome build, and one I'll be revisiting when I can finally get a driver in my collection to tinker with.

But if I was ever on the fence about getting really committed in this hobby, Barrel tipped the scales and pulled me in. I gotta give the nod to Kong.

[Slippyblade]

Weird, the actual voting part didn't show up for me till AFTER I posted...

Kong for me as well!  It's just so unique - especially considering the concept was stolen and bootlegged already.

Poll not open? Look at the top of the page.

I agree toughest category to decide on
Love the Barrel, but Louis Tully's use of a piercing barbell as a scale joystick is pure genius!

[DarakuTenshi]

Between 1943 and Kong it's a very difficult choice... But Kong is the most unique cab I've ever seen so it gets the vote.

[SlammedNiss]

While I love the mini Galaga, the idea to stick DK in a barrel is just too awesome. Can't believe nobody thought of it sooner.

+1 for Barrel of Kong

[UCA]

If you haven't voted this would be a great time to vote because soon the voting will be over and if you haven't voted by the time voting is done the vote that you cast won't count so vote!



Vote!!!!

Hi all, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that voted for Barrel of Kong. Having your project voted by other talented builders is a huge compliment and something to really appreciate. Well done to all the winners this year, a lot of stiff competition from some excellent builds
