| DrewKaree:
Here's a little decision making "checklist" I was going through...if if helps you, use it. Also, I am choosing upright, so this is for an upright. All others can be added by others who have built them. Formfactor Upright Cocktail Driver Other Size Standard size Mini size Coffee Table Cabinet Design One-piece Design (standard style) Two-piece Design (gotham-style) Three-piece Design (megalo-style) Coffee Table Video Computer Monitor Arcade Monitor TV, Projector, etc. Video Design Attached Monitor (cabinet-style) Detached Monitor (megalo-style) Control Panel Setup Single Control Panel (all-in-one) Multiple Control Panels (interchangeable) Player Qty 1-2 player machine (pac man type) 1-4 player machine (nfl blitz type) "Fancy doo-dads" Sound (speakers required) Lighting (marquee, coin doors, etc) Finish Paint Stain Laminate/Formica Other Controllers Button types Joystick types Trackball(s) (and type(s)) Spinner(s) (and type(s)) Light Gun(s) (and type(s)) Wheels/Pedals (and types) Dance Pad Computer Interface I-Pac type You-Hack-Pac OS Windows Dos Linux Other Machine Use Single Game Specific Game(s) Front End for multiple games Computer (specs depend on the above decisions made and should handle everything you wish to do. If making this decision based on "what I have lying around", plan to be able to use it for the bare minimum. By setting your goals low, you will be pleased if your machine far surpasses what you wanted it to do!) |
