My first build: "Mimic"

<< < (17/29) > >>

Jamesyan:
very good job, guy

yotsuya:
This is a great example of a guy building his first cabinet, taking a whole bunch of feedback, opinions and compliments, and really rolling with it. See, not every N00b gets picked on.

It was a pleasure meeting you at ZapCon, and I look forward to future years.

Umpa:
Great job. Great build thread! Thank you for sharing!

Laythe:
Umpa and Jamesyan - Thanks!

The amount of work you put into configuring it really shows. Shout out for the cool admin panel too :cheers:.

Heya, RetroGreg! Glad you dig it. I'm still tinkering on the artwork and software, but, I probably always will be. :) Was cool meeting you, and hanging out with you at Monastery. :cheers:

Aw, thanks. Great meeting you, and likewise!

I don't think I've seen anybody get jumped on here out of meanness, in any of the build threads I've seen. I didn't get roasted much, and the differing opinions I got were all very reasonable.

To pick an example - sure, Mimic isn't HarveyBirdman's favorite cab. He's really enthusiastic about CRTs, and a stunt with a portrait LCD for a main screen is at most going to get his grudging "not as bad as I expected" shrug. But look at BulletReign, with the incredible marquee art and the awesome level of overkill of the painted board rack, and it's obvious he cares a whole lot. He's not busting my chops because he's some cretin - he's expressing what he cares about, and he's got a build to show what it looks like when attention is paid to the parts that matter to him.

If his build was two cardboard boxes and a tankstick, I'd maybe shrug off his opinion, but it isn't. I respect the heck out of his build, he knows what he's talking about, and I can see where he's coming from. I'm glad he's level with me about it. I'd rather get an honest "not as bad as I expected" over a fake "every cab is equally beautiful and special in it's own unique way" participation trophy, any day.
