Hello
« on: December 23, 2014, 03:17:02 am »
Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you for the all of the information, help, and knowledge you guys provide in this forum.  I'm finishing up a 6 month deployment and have been reading everything here for the last 4.5 months or so.  Between this forum, the Hyperspin forum, and Google, almost all of the questions I've come up with have been answered already.  My wife has given me the "go ahead" to build a cab when I get home in late January.  I'll be ordering everything for the 2P CP on the 1st so the parts are there waiting form me.  I have Hyperspin and the Emulators I'm going to be using already setup on an external HDD here.  I'm hoping be able to just connect it to my PC at home, change the drive letter to match what it was here on the laptop, and be good to go.  My wife and I are very fond of this cab (lilrascal via Knievel): http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=114417.0 and will shoot for something like it. 

So again, I just wanted to say thank you.

Can't go wrong with a Knievel klone. Best of luck and be sure and post up a build thread once you get started!

Thank you Le Chuck and I sure will.  I'm sure there will be a question or two along the way.

Knievel's work is a great thing to emulate. The most important stage is the planning stage, and remember to make your mock ups in card board  :afro:
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I have seen so many beautiful cabs in the Project Announcements thread it blows my mind.  I would send my wife pics from here and she would yes or no them.  I am looking to do a stained cab that "could" fit in with the furniture in the house and she really liked the idea.

I will definitley plan it out as well as mockup just to make sure we are both happy with the direction it will be heading.  Lucky for me, she enjoys the thought of an arcade cab too.
