1up, what type of materials are we talking about?  What type of finish?  Basically, what quality level are we looking at?



I can relate to the prices.  I recently picked up a bass guitar.  been teaching myself.  I could build a high quality guitar for less than store bought.  You can do that for most anyhting.  I have been looking at effects pedals.  Goto a guitar store, look at the price of the effect pedals, they cna very form $40 to over $200.  And most are made with just $10-$30 worth of parts.  Production adds alot.  You don;t have to pay yourself if you are going to make something yourself.  But if you buy it from someone else you have to pay for the time people put into it.

I'm here to get info on these cabs that look sweet, not read a bunch of whiners complain about prices.  If you can't afford it or think it's too expensive, maybe don't post or post once and state your opinion and then press on, damn!

1up, I do have some questions:

1.  The kits will or will not have have the artwork and ipacs and what not?
2.  The price does or does not include the shipping?
3.  When will we know more?

Everything sounds sweet so far man, keep up the good work!

I told myself to bow out of this thread, but I have to reply to that..... that comment is so utterly absurd, I actually laughed out loud.

How exactly do you think a business would stay IN business if they didn't pass off that cost of initial start up to the customer in one way or another.

"Gee, I just spent $60k to start up a business making magnets, but the magnets only cost .05 to make, so I'll only charge .10 so as not to anger some of my customers who might think anything more is too expensive.  Guess I'll just have to wait to sell enough magnets to cover that $60k"

How could you even make a comment like that?  Of COURSE businesses DO put their start up costs into products, if they didn't, they wouldn't survive.

I promise I'll stop now, I'm sorry I aided in bringing this thread downhill 1UP, you have my apologies.  Smack me upside the head in a PM if you'd like ;)

Aaaah...I see I'm going to have to update the site again...looks like I created more questions than I answered!  :)

The quality level on these will be very high.  Everything is being precision machined from black 3/4" melamine with tons of odd-angle bevel cuts on the control section.


Features of both the kit and cabs will be:

-Full vinyl sideart on both sides, professionally printed by a company who does nothing but arcade artwork, not a Kinko's bubblejet job.

-Full printed overlays on the control panels, including backsplash area, subsurface printed for durability.

-Marquee artwork, printed directly on the Lexan.

-Customer may choose color of t-molding.

-Improved axle/locking mechanism, totally redesigned and machined from heavy gauge steel.

-An exclusive front storage area, allowing for discrete storage of folding dance pads, driving pedals, gamepads, light guns, cables and more.  Also allows cables for guns and pedals to be routed thru the FRONT of the cabinet!  You know all that dead space in the bottom of your cab?  We finally figured out a use for it!

-Thoughtfully placed ventillation ducts to prevent gaming meltdowns.



Additional features of the fully built cabinets:

-Fully printed monitor bezel.

-Three instant-switch panels filled with authentic arcade controls, and a real coin door with coin box.

-A top of the line PC with 80 gigs of hard drive space and fast graphics.

-A bright 27" VGA compatible (WG D9200) TRUE arcade monitor (not the dim 21" PC monitor that comes with Hanaho's system).

-A premium sound system with powered subwoofer for deep, rich sound you can feel.

-Illuminated multimedia keyboard stows away when not in use.  Allows easy access to volume controls.

-4-port USB hub inside the panels, with a super bright LED to provide light for hooking up controls.

-A fully modular, infinitely expandable third panel, equipped with a high-quality Logitech force-feedback steering wheel with shifter and pedals.  Future add-ons will include flight yokes, gun holsters, authentic pinball controls, and more.

-Easy rear access to CPU, allows for installing components without removing PC or crawling inside the cabinet.

-And a few more surprises I'm holding back...  8)
