My one finished cab (well, 90%) is sitting in the basement collecting dust. The space I was going to put it in the TV room has turned into my daughter's toy storage area. It's hard to argue against that. Plus, she hates it even though whenever we have a party all anyone wants to do is play it and then all of a sudden it becomes cool. As soon as everyone leaves though it's back to hating it. The second one I'm building is for my daughter and I hope to put it in her room when I'm finished. It's a mini and it is going to match the color scheme so there shouldn't be too much of an issue (I hope). My wife does hate when I work on the cabs because she thinks I should be spending that time with my daughter... it's tough because she has no hobbies to speak of so I can't win that arguement either. |

I don't like to think that I tricked my wife into this, but this is what worked for me: -I showed a lot of enthusiasm for the hobby (read Project Arcade in bed, talked about MAME, etc.) -I introduced her to some cool 2-player games (Bubble Bobble, beat-em-ups, etc.) -Got her involved in the art design process -Told her how to navigate the front end in case she'd ever want to play -Pointed to a location where it would look nice Basically I just was very careful to make sure that she was involved in the project, even if she was pretty much hands-off the whole time. Right now I'm working on it in the garage, but she keeps commenting on how neat it will be once it's in the house. |

It's tit for tat, in that case tat. ;D We go to Cuba almost every year, so it is kind of an unwritten agreement that when I get an upgrade or start a new cab project etc, we go on a trip. I kind of like it that way. |

Just move it inside and tell her if she doesn't like it to move it back herself. Unless your wife is East German, it will stay there. If she is East German, she's just going to beat your ass anyway, so don't try it. |
