New Racing Cab
BadMouth:
I ended up with $700 in my $50 cab. All those $40 trips to the hardware store add up.
It's now my policy to never keep track. ;)

So far I've spent 100 bucks, but I haven't gotten to the finish work yet... that'll kill ya.

I hear you badmouth. Unfortunately, I'm an economist by trade and education. I'm most often at the mercy of the little demons in my brain and they're usually telling me to count the money. However, I have noticed that all of those little voices begin to get alarmingly quieter whenever there's an arcade project.
I'd also like to share with everybody some of the artwork that I'm creating for the maximus arcade front end. Yes, I know everybody loves hyperspin. And no, I don't care. MA has always been kind and gentle to me. She's not my side chick, she's my main b*tch. Don't judge.
Anyways. Here is what I have for now. Enjoy!!!
Howard_Casto:
Looks nice.
Actually in the case of Badmouth and I you are preaching to the choir. Last time I checked we both find HS to be a bit too animated... like a kid jumping around trying to get your attention.

Oh. Good. I'm not the only one out there who would prefer not have epileptic seizures and stroke out before getting to play a game.
I'm hoping that this project doesn't exceed $500. Luckily, I had a quad-core pc with 4gb of ram and a 9800gt sitting around. This puppy will push any emulator or pc game. But there is still a laundry list of stuff to do that will nickel and dime me:
* Get a key ignition switch to power on (hopefully)
* Order some red t-molding
* I need to figure out what I'm going to do for sound
* Get a better power supply for the pc
* Find a 25-27" hdtv on craigs
* Order the marquee and make a retainer
* Get some plexi (luckily I live in Cali and TAPS Plastics is just around the corner from me)
* Make a bezel
* LEDs, of course
* Eventually find a better wheel (I'm not going to make a dash until I have a better wheel)
* Other stuff that I haven't thought of yet
Also, here’s a link to a youtube vid of my current draft of my MA theme. I’m not sure what the deal is with embedding video though. They must not let noobs do it. lol
Enjoy!!!
