THE SYSTEM
Neverending Project:
I must have missed this announcement the first time around, but:
1) Nice job on the build - it looks great.
2) Great job on the component list and grades. That kind of stuff is very helpful for people to see not only what you used, but what you think of it.
:cheers:

Indeed, the review of the equipment is very helpful for those of us scheming to build one of these someday. ;)

Thanks guys. Glad my impressions are helpful.
I tried to get some pictures of Tempest this morning. I can't really get any that are representative of what it actually looks like on my d9800 (pictures keep turning out more aliased than what I see with my eyes). I would suggest just firing up Tempest on your own monitor to see what it looks like. Play it with your joystick just to see how it looks.
I did confirm that the bullets do not display at 640x480, but they are there at 800x600. Other than that, the picture looks pretty similar between the two resolutions. Dark, blurry, uninspiring. It's playable, but it certainly doesn't burn vibrantly like Tempest should.

Just wanted to chime in again on Tempest. I cranked up the contrast on my d9800 (I think it's at like 60 now, it was at 40) and it's quite livable at 800x600. The tinted glass was really making it look bad.
