Arcade machine in your house?

When I tell people that I designed and built it from scratch they think I'm some kind of electronic genious. Pretty cool ego booster. :)

If only some of these people buying those $3.000 MS pacs/Galaga would realize , they could make there own cab and probably better and much cheaper.

yep thats the angle I pull cause they all know i routinely squeeze coal into diamonds, being as tight fisted as i am :D
And in all fairness this hobby isn't for the feable minded (although with all the pnp hardware available its alot easier than it used to be) so i feel no shame in being proud of building one of these basement behemoths..

Most people are idiots. If it's not the "normal" things they grew up with in their boring parents' home, then it's not appropriate. ("What will the neighbors think? Oh my!) My attitude is if you like it, have it in your home. You can make anything fit in if you want to; Other people be damned!

Hrm... with video, I find people way overestimate cost/value. "That P.O.W. must have cost you $1500!" With pinball machines, it is the opposite... "That thing is kind of old, what's that worth, a couple hundred?"
