I think that the hobby would benefit much more from more GOOD exposure and more GOOD information.  The cabiniet isn't the nicest thing in the world, but at least it's finished and functional.  However, his recommendations leave a lot to be desired, and some of the "knowledge" he gained while making the cab is questionable.

i have not read the article.. but since he is running linux, maybe the whole machine was based on a budget, showing people for only a few hundred dollars you can have a game machine build.

Making something that looks good doesn't take a lot of money. Maybe a little more time and a bit more effort, but not money. The 2x4 control panel is just too much.

I'll probably pick up this issue, though. I was thinking about using Ubuntu for my cocktail I'm working on, but then I found a Win98 disc in my closet.

Havok:
The cab matches the OS as far as how good it is for gaming...

Crappy...

 >:D

tba:
are you kidding? i LOVED that cab... threw out the CP i am working on and just nailed a few 2x4's together, i bent one of the nails over, but hey, that lends to the charm.

i am gonna take some sandpaper to my side art next!
