I'm having twins! Well kindof
« on: August 04, 2008, 11:54:43 pm »
Figured I would try my hand at a Bartop and why build one when two is just as easy.




Hav'nt come up with a theme yet.   Perhaps Bubble and Bobble?  PacMan/Galaga? I have two 15 inch ELO LCD's so I think I'll use Xlobby as a touch screen front end.

Just curious, what did you have to give for those monitors? And where did you get them at?

2 for $50 on Craigslist.  They are actually framed units on pedistals.  I prefer the unmounted ones on eBay I've been paying around $103 shipped for them.

I'm a big fan of multiple bartops...I think they look great together.  :)   Are you going to keep them both or give one away? Decided on the theme yet?

Looking good.  8)

Is there any reason for having so much space below the monitor? Do you have something planned for it?

If I had to guess... he'll need that much space for his computer components to go inside.
