So I have looked around for a new cabinet for my project, and there is a chase HQ with the shifter, monitor and coindoor at my local autioneer which is good news as these cabs go for a couple of quid. That with a raspberry pi 3 and cannonball looks like a better alternative than building one from scratch. I am going to follow in this guy's project, but add the linear actuators to raise and lower the monitor.

That’s... a kid’s toy. How is that going to help you with a full size project.
I guess MikeA was right. This IS a troll. And here I thought you were a starry-eyed dreamer with fish fantasies. Well-played.
Maybe I didn't explain my self properly, the outrun game I linked to had all the internals, wiring and code to make an Outrun cabinet out of a Chase HQ cabinet. Everything is there, wheel, shifter, monitor. I am of the understanding that the PI can drive (
) the arcade monitor and the rumble controls are not that different to what that project has done. I think everyone has started small and worked up to full size or at least prototype the project in cardboard, as I have seen in these threads. I have seen another similar project that did not have the instrument panel, so I think a working instrument panel would be cool. I'm going to do it regardless to your comments, which leads me to my final post in this thread.
I have sent a PM to Saint regarding your threatening behavior towards me. I still think this is a pretty cool site, and I am sure lots of people will still visit and gain knowledge. I also believe in free speech and criticism to where improvements are made in projects, but hostility towards others is unnecessary and abusive comments are hurtful. Your behavior towards me is unbelievable, yet you have achieved so much with your endevours, and I appreciate your passion towards arcade renovations. I hope this is something you can reflect on.
MikeA is a funny guy and likes attention, and his arcade project related comments on other threads have been very much on point.
I wish everyone a happy holidays and I will post my project in another forum in the new year, with pictures.
