| Sasquatch!:
Out of curiosity: How are you going to handle the "PC Support" side of this? Conventional wisdom says that people will screw their computers up if you let 'em. :) I noticed that you include a PC "with custom startup screens that add to the arcade feel. Boots directly into 3DArcade without showing any Windows elements!" Is this also partly done to "lock" people out of the normal Windows OS? Or do you include a "ghost" image CD to restore everything? Just wondering. Oh yeah, and I await seeing some actual pictures too. :) |

I am currently working with a few customers who want a slightly different setup from the stock configuration, which is a service I provide. |

Locking people out of the OS would present some problems for the customers who plan to install MAME and a bunch of ROMS that they don't legally own. I know that people willing to stoop so low would be few and far between ;), but I digress... |

No one will be locked out. You can always quit the FE or alt-tab to another window to do your maintenance. This is not an all-or--nothing setup. :) The main feature of this system is flexibility. It can ship with our stock setup, but you can order it with the OS only, or a blank HD, or no HD, or no PC, or a different PC, or no guts, or a different steering wheel, or custom sideart, or whatever. I mean it when I say I am offering the ultimate gaming machine, and I stand behind that by allowing my customers to make it THEIR ultimate gaming machine. We will do whatever it takes to that end, other than completely redesigning the cabinet. Of course, all of that requires a custom quote. Operators are standing by... |

I did a search on Spincade today to see how word is spreading. The overall response has been positive, most people like the features and the looks. All agree that they can't afford it, which is something I can't really do anything about until I get enough orders to produce parts in quantity... :-\ It's a vicious circle. Anyway, I found this web radio show called the Overnightscape, where the host does a few minutes about it. It was nice to hear that he liked it so much! Here's the link to stream it into your favorite mp3 player. http://www.bluffcosm.com/mp3/The_Overnightscape_0127.m3u It starts about 4 minutes into the show (right after he finishes his review of Vanilla Dr. Pepper... Oh, I also saw Kevin Steele's blurb about it, which incidentally pretty much sums up the radio clip. |
