Is it just me, or does this ad look like they just snagged random images of other people's projects? And hoping to make a little cash off of the deposits?

On the other hand, the options DO include a mini-fridge and cup holders, two things my arcade cabinet in progress lack, so maybe I'm just being super jealous?

[Nephasth]

Contact me if interested. Send your ideas. I make dreams happen.

[Schnookums]

Hmm, okay. So I have this dream where I'm eating dinner with my parents but they're wearing Noh masks, and everyone is talking in German but for some strange reason I can understand them, and  I realize the Thanksgiving Turkey is actually a human baby, and suddenly we're magically flying over Lake Michigan.


Any chance of making that dream happen?

I think I mite hire this guy to finish my barn before it snows

Still going to build my own cabs though

[thomas_surles]

Yep those are stolen

[keilmillerjr]

What's with the neat looking crate cab that has random logos, no joysticks and a ton of buttons?

It’s Pi based. It transcends joysticks.

3rd pic is definitely from SpaceHedgehog's CP-1 Command Pod build.

This reminds me of the time someone stole one of DeL’s Vigolix pictures for a Craigslist post.

jeez and i thought the dream where me and my dad keep getting out of his white jeep at my house to hook it up to another car and it keeps rolling down the hill through the 4 lane intersection and smashing into the building there and pingponging to different spots where we get it and do it all over again was not really all that weird.

The weird part was every time it started rolling he'd say "maybe it will hit the curb and go into someone's drive way"
but, it never does that, it keeps smashing the windows on the building on the other side of the intersection.
the last time it bounced then rolled down the 4 lane highway and i ran after it but didn't find it cause someone texted me and woke me up.

need to kick this cold and lay off the NyQuil I think because he doesn't even have a white jeep.

[Schnookums]

Yeah, the quality AND styles were all over the place so it's nice to confirm my suspicions.

Look, if someone wants to pay someone else to design a cab or cockpit or whatever for them, hey, it's their money. I personally wouldn't because I'm enjoying making my own cabinet, but I get that some people just want the finished product. However I have nothing but contempt for someone to pull a stunt like this, and I'm really hoping no one has actually fallen for this person's BS.

"I am a certified audio/video engineer, architect, artist, carpenter and custom builder, so you can be assured of safety and quality."

Red flag. Although the whole thing is a red flag but this just says to me its a person with more ego than talent.

[Titchgamer]

First red flag is in the title IMO “console”.

Ive never seen a 6ft high console powered with a pc before....

[Schnookums]

Well I reached out to the guy, and I feel ashamed that I doubted him. Not only is he a certified audio/video engineer, but he was also Nigerian Royalty! He was so generous too, wiring me eleventy billion dollars to my bank account after I provided him all my bank information.

[Titchgamer]

Damn are you his long lost cousin as well?

Hes setting me up with a palace! He also said he can sort me out with some enlargement pills if you get my drift.

By my calcs if I take em all I will be long enough to circumnavigate the earth 2 and a half times to pleasure kylie Minogue in oz!
